West — Tom Cod Bay / Wooden Frog / Blind Ash

Top Spots

Tom Cod Bay — shallow gravel/rock flats, 4–8 ft early-morning jigs.
Wooden Frog area — flats and bay-mouth transitions, 6–12 ft.
Blind Ash Bay — protected back-bay, 4–10 ft, can be the warmest water on the lake.
West-end bay mouths — slip bobber + leech at dusk for the bigger walleye.

Tom Cod and Blind Ash get skinny — watch the prop in tight back-bay water.
Wooden Frog approach has a couple of unmarked rock humps; idle the last 50 yards.
