Labor Day trolling east of Kellies

[Prkr314]

We fished Monday east of Kellies.Were a lot more boats out walleye fishing,than I would have expected.Must be due to the poor perch fishing so far this season.Took us 5hrs to get our 3 man limit.Caught all eaters.Nothing over 23'.Trolling speed was between 2.3 and 2.7mph.Almost all our fish came on purple stinger spoons off dipsies.Setting 3@75,90&105:Setting 1@ 70&80 all caught fish.Two weeks ago we did really well with bandits off our boards 150 and 2oz.Yesterday,they only caught 2 fish.Tried a few colors and changed depth,but could not figure out a program.After 3.5hrs changed them to a spoon and a harness and they caught nothing.Got one white bass,6 sheep and about 10 shorts.Also had 3 fish that were barely over the 15" mark.The water clarity may be affecting the bite east of Kellies,as the satellite shows a algae cloud in a good part of that area.Water clarity was probably 3-4ft.

Monday we ran back to the East Side of the island where we last left them 2 weekends ago about 5-6 miles East. After about an hour we ran back to the west, same thing a lot of marks... too deep/no biters.Then we moved ESE of the island the marks got better and we started picking up fish. The best combination ended up being larger stinger spoons in purples or watermelon 50-60bk at 2.6.
