Sterling State fishing today

Two of us headed out of Sterling this morning to try and find some walleye. Trolled from Fermi toward the Banana dike in 18 to 20 FOW, not a single fish. Decided to try and salvage the day and go perchin. Started in front of Fermi in 20 FOW with good marks just to find we had found a school of large Silver Bass. After 10 minutes of that we decided to move to 25 FOW off of Stoney Point. Once again not a single fish.
At 1:30 we dropped anchor in 27 FOW water straight out from the beach at Sterling. Put 22 fish in the cooler in 30 minutes and threw a fair amount of smalls back. Fished until 4 O'clock and ended with 51 in the box. Sure was a nice day to be on the lake. Hopefully we can get a few more this year.
