I guess no use for a new thread on this, as me and a buddy were out there floating around just like everyone else today..Unlike most of you though, this was my boat's first trip here this season, so it pains me to hear you say the best may be over..I guess I should have launched at the So. marina, as that's about where we headed to from the No. marina..so we were fishing by 0730, hooking up about 15 mins later..We did best til about 1000, then 2 larger cats in the NW corner about 1100, then slowly headed back out to the "Openness", and from there and back to the No. marina we had 3 more good hookups...4 average walleyes, 2 large cats, 4 large perch, and 2 smallish wipers were our take..1 very small wiper netted and released, 2 very large walleye missed the net right at the boat..our planer boards worked for 4 fish, but bottom bouncers were best for us, catching 9 and missing a few others...bugs were treacherous, but a very good fishing day...
