Also fished tonight at bouy 13 on channel. First evidence of algea this year of any real concern. It was not real thick, but it was enougth to skim the surface. Ended the night with 94 perch and 1 walleye in 3 hours with 6 people fishing.

Looks like its grown a lot over the past few weeks..http://coastwatch.glerl.noaa.gov/mod...e.143.250m.jpg

Been fishing the Dumping grounds in Monroe the last week and it's gettin really green over their..Been doing well in 18-21 FOW..It's a real bright green to not like the pea soup look.. Good luck and be safe
LOWE LIFE

The water where we were fishing was very clear. Probably could see 6 feet or more down. The clean water only adds to the problem allowing more sunlight deeper into the water column allowing the algea to bloom.

How long does normally last? I am planing on coming up the middle of september to fish with Reel Sport. If Mike or Wayne view this, I will be calling around the end of the month.

Did not see any...out of tc yesterday.....all the way to c can and back..even when wind layed down in the afternoon...

Russ, that's good to hear, I'll be up Sat and Sun.
