I was 5 miles and needed to be 8. I'm beating my self up about that but it was a learning lesson. It looks like there is a dumping area in the north east at around 13 miles or so anything in that distance probably would have been productive. I was in 44 feet of water and had some boats trolling the area but they didn't stick around long. I should have followed. I did fish spoons and flickers at different depths but was foolish to stick around Maybe next time.
We are taking our trip from a Boat docked near venetian marina in the bay. Putting together online research made me think we need to get around CP and head east to at least Huron and maybe Vermillion. Are there any areas closer to the bay/islands that are also worth while? Thanks in advance for your help, we are a couple of idiots just wanting to fish over the holiday weekend haha.
