We have been getting smaller fish but plenty of them. The DEC girl checked us out yesterday and said everyone has been getting smaller fish. I wish that I knew the secret for getting larger fish. ????
It's suspose to be rough Friday and Sat. But better on Sunday. Be safe everyone.

Thanks for the reply. We fished yesterday - caught 11, all 17"-20", mostly on black & purple harnesses. We have no downriggers, but a silver flatfish(!) was about as productive as a harness. No steelhead. Beautiful day, but few boats. Very light bite; the rod would jerk, then nothing. When we reeled in, there was a fish there. Lazy Walleyes?

We got out this morning. Maybe the last time this year. ??? Depending on the weather. Gonna get a good blow tonight. It may scatter the fish. ??? Got a two man limit in about 1 3/4 hr. The bite was lite, you are right perchDad.

I was hoping the same thing. The other day it looked good for Sun. BUT they changed the report. Now NOT looking all that good. Maybe that will change again. Have you been giving Dave S. these reports?

We were shooting for a 3 man. limit today but fell a little short. Ended up with 15. They weren't hitting like they have been. And didn't see many on the screen like there has been. But it was a great day out there. Probably the last time out. They were a little larger than we have been getting.
