The bay is the bay. The fish are there, but they feel a little sick right now breathing in all the mud the noreasters held in. More rain expected for the next few days so it will only get worse. If you want to fish the bay go to the mudline towards the michigan line. It does clean up there, but with all the rain the next few days I would focus on the reef area. One mistake allot of fisherman make on the reefs is they go to the reefs. I recommend you try towards Magee Marsh and fish in 13 FOW and drift to 16-17. If the water is dirty drift over 19-20 FOW and watch your graphs. The water on the bottom is colder and cleaner. You'll see the Mienke Boys out there and if ya see a Pirate Charter boat its worth the drift. Snow Pirate, Treasure Pirate, and Kieth started a third boat but I dont know its exact name, but it will be Pirate something. I'm gonna wait till the water clears. Generally it takes 3 days for the bay to clean with south-west winds.

Keep in mind that the current flows west to east. And when we have east winds it stops the flow of water. The Bay is like a balloon. The river fills with air (Muddy Water) and with noreasters the water has no place to go. When the wind changes and blows from the S or W its like flushing a toilet.

Good Luck and Good Fishing
