We launched at Stockton Park and motored to Hartley.   We got on fish outside of a point and picked up 3.  On the inside we picked up a couple more.  Then it got tough.   We would get a bite about every quarter of a mile.  We used various plastics and had bites but could only get hookups on worms.  We hit some bluff ends but got nothing.   We moved into Hawker and caught a few more.  It was a tough day with 10 bass and 1 walleye.   Here are the best 2 fish.

August came early this year. 😁

Water temps in the mid 60s already after that heat wave?

My birds showed 70-72° yesterday.

I finally got out this evening and it was slow, but beautiful.  Water temps started out ~72 and dropped to 69 just before dark according to my electronics.  I did catch 2 keeper crappie, but couldn't get a pattern going.  Looks like I may need to learn how to night fish.
