PJ probably has the key piece of advice Jax.......mid lake reefs are quite likely the most important piece of the equation. You can't catch them where they ain't. I still like mornings when you don't have to fight the wind and the fish still have the feedbag out. I like bigger more complex reefs with deep water nearby. I was catching dandy walleye off a big reef in basswood over 70 ft of water running a big taildancer which might of been down 28ft a few Augusts past. The reef topped out around 12 ft but the nice ones where hanging out around the deep edges over open water.
