First time out this year and it sure was nice to be fishing again. Parking lot was full of trailers. Sturgeon had 2 docks (3 lanes) in and my 19 ft IO had no problem getting in/out with the sand. Very foggy today, even with bright sunshine, would have been pretty screwed without gps to get home. We stopped at the convention about 1 mile out around 8:30am and I counted 20 boats out there even with fog, nobody catching much fish and we caught 1 perch and 1 smallmouth, then moved further out to a spot where 1 other boat was I've tried before and caught about 25 perch, quit before noon. Not great but still good. (we started that spot about 9:30am) Rumor is that sturgeon will be closed soon for dredging. Water temp was 37 degrees. That bass I pulled up from 55 ft was as pale as some inner cave fish, really weird and eyes bulging out from pressure. It floated quite a while before reviving enough to swim down.
Unbelievable march day of fishing nice weather, calm seas awesome!

So I noticed people netting minnows by the docks, anyone know how long that goes? Also are they there right at dawn?
