There weren't many boats out at all! Main group I joined first only had 4 boats out there. We stopped there but only seemed to be catching small perch and moved on to a couple other spots, ended up only being a mile away from sturgeon and marking fish on the finder. BTW I did split my screen and zoomed up to 6X and 8X and that worked well, was easily able to tell when fish were near. The schools seemed to be roaming around a lot. Anyway, check out these pics of the big pig my daughter caught. It was 13.5 inches, but a real fatty. I've caught bigger but not as hefty. This was not a female full of eggs, no eggs and I pulled out two fish from it's stomach in the next pic. She must have dropped the minnow right in front of it's mouth! The top one almost looks like a small goby. We were in about 52 ft of water, using live and salted emerald shiners with equal results. Here is a pic:

And what was inside:
