I'm spending one single day on Lake Minnetonka on July 29th.  Anyone have any suggestions on locations or techniques?  It would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

I made a post on my family page to see if they can help; I'll post back once I get anything.

Thanks Fogy, I really appreciate any guidance you may have.  I wish i had more that 1 day on the lake.  I really want to make the most of it!

Thanks again!

Well they were not much help yet Dad posted a site for me to check out and all they had to say was
last spring and summer. I found
both bass and pike in 3-7 weed flats using a buzz bait on days when a little wind is blowing. Over cast also helps. Musky should be there also. It is a blast catching them on top water.

and
I would try just about any dock with any size low to the water with lots of shade. Use any shallow/ surface bait or try pitching worms under the edges...wait awhile and then jiggle/ walk out from under the dock. Any shore with any weed growth you can find a hole in and pitch in worm rigs. Some nice bass are caught around shallow rockpiles early mornings and late evenings using spinners and crank baits. There are some deep structure areas, but I never seem to find them as productive, but then, I am not a pro.

and from the FLW page
