Tons of fish in deep water. Marked way more in 25-40 fow than anything shallower.
Wow we were out on the weekend of the 12th off of huron and water temp was just a few ticks above 40. I would had assumed at that point it would had been warmer in the shallower western waters and would not had guess an almost 6 degree cool down from that time.
