North of American Eagle Shoal 5/25/21

Decided to fish yesterday after seeing the wind forecast change. Tried AMES first but did not see many marks although there were numerous boats fishing there. Moved North into 32-35 ft of water and started seeing some good marks. Set up with bandits and stinger spoons trolling at 1.9-2.2 mph. 5 fish on first pass then junk fish for the next hour or so. Ended with 8 total in box (2 fisher people). All fish came on perch colored michigan stinger spoon. 6 were on the same rod- #1 dipsey on 3 setting out 36 ft. Set 2 other rods with same lure and settings but only caught 2 on those rods. Bandits produced nothing. Trip was 1:30-5 pm. Small pack of boats in same area and we saw lots of fish netted in that first hour then it slowed. All in all not bad for first real trip of the year.
