I was out there Saturday from about noon till 5:00. I caught 1 Wiper and 2 Walleyes. You are right about the varitable cornucopia of lures that have been working this year. This is my 5th trip to the Bay this year, and was the first trip that I caught a Wiper on "old reliable" type lures! All my other fish that were caught were caught on experimental stuff!
When you troll with grubs, do you weigh them down with anything? I tried trolling with a Maniac Minnow (pearl colored, 2 1/2 inch) and the seagulls kept trying to get it as it was staying on the top! So then I tried it on a 3/8 ounce jighead instead of just a gamakatsu hook, and it still stayed up at the top. We also tried a single tail standard grub on a jighead towed behind behind planer boards, bumping against the rocks on the dike. The birds tried to get it also!

I used to N.ot have E.nough T.ime O.ff to go fishing. Then I retired. Now I have less time than I had before. Sheesh.
