Where to fish

[Blue Salmon]

Was hoping to take that family out fishing tomorrow
I was wondering if there are any fish biting in this lake?
We will be going out from West Harbor would like to keep it within 10 miles one way. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Any type of fish is fine just don't want to sit for 6 hours staring at the horizon holding an empty rod. Thank you in advance for any advise.

All the best walleye action is up in Canadian waters right now, but lucky for you its west of Pelee Island, which is pretty much the closest Canadian place to West Harbor. Try north of Kelleys Island out around gull island shoal (actually a reef) in the deeper water (35+ feet), look for the clearest water you can find. If that doesn't produce or the kids get bored you can usually catch fish (sheephead, catfish, smallmouth bass, maybe a walleye) closer to the shoal in shallower water (10-25 feet) but be VERY CARFUL to stay away from the actual reef. Check your charts and orient with the buoy that marks the reef. You can also try perch fishing in the 50 foot "hole" between Kelleys and Gull (on charts). On the way in for plain ole fishing try around Starve Island or the buoys to the south east that mark another deep hole, fish the depth transition areas, you can again catch sheepshead, catfish, and maybe white bass or white perch. Good luck and have fun!

With kid, I would go to the Marblehead light house in 30 tp 33 of water with minnows on on very light poles and spreaders. Anchored. Perch. Very light bite.

Good luck.
