Perch Fishing

Did you run into any ice out there? I didn't drive by Sturgeon Pt. But I did see a lot of heavy thick shore ice around Angola and the bay by Big Sisters Creek & Small Sisters Creek.

There was shore ice on sunset beach & a line of ice coming off the end of the break wall about 20' wide. It had some open spots in it that we motored thru with no problem.

Does anyone know if they have finished dredging at Sturgeon Point?

I was just going to post about SP. I drove by yesterday. There is a huge mound of sand piled in the mouth of the harbor. I don't know even if you could get around it. Maybe a kayak can. It's funny because if you check SP on lake vision it shows a pic like for two Wednesdays ago.

dec webpage said they just started dredging

[lineman49]

I heard a rumor they stopped dredging SP due to lack of funds. Anyone else hear this?? Maybe thats why theres a pile at the enterance so no one can get in or out? Liability reasons ? That would s*$K!

I heard the same rumor about lack of funding and no dredging for sturgeon, so I called them up. The lady there said that they were going to open like normal on May 15, and that dredging would start soon. (this was a week or 2 ago). Then I asked her "well I heard this rumor that you guys may not dredge it out, or even open this year, because of a lack of funding" and she told me that was the first she'd heard of this, everything was normal this year. Even offered to have the marina guy call me back to tell me when the dredging was going to start. So hopefully I've got good info...you never know when the government is involved, I've seen them stop projects halfway done creating 3 times the expense when the money runs out.
