We also went out of Wild Wings yesterday, having been warned that boats were getting stuck in Fenwick's (Turtle Creek) channel.
We were at Niagara Reef with about 20 other boats for the sunrise. Jigged for a couple hours but got nothing. Didn't see anyone else netting any either. We weren't marking anything there.
We did see some good fish suspended to the north and west of Niagara so we tried trolling for those. Spent a couple hours trolling around there but no bites.
About 40 boats in the Niagara pack at that point so we tried jigging there again. We did pick up a couple before lunch time, and saw a few being netted in other boats. Both of ours were on a 3/4-oz black jig with purple hair, no minnow. Just danced it gently on the botton, picking it up about 2 inches with my jigging motion. I was surprised to get a good fight out of the 19" eye.
After lunch, there was a pack of about 10 boats at (I think) Toussaint Reef but it was so muddy there we kept going. Tried jigging Crib, Flat Rock and Little Pickerel. Picked up a tasty drum at Flat Rock but nothing else.
Then went back to Niagara where there were still 5 or 6 boats. We picked up one more 16" eye there (purple jig) before calling it quits around 5:30.
It was very slow. Maybe the problem was the mud. Maybe it was the moon which was at 80% with clear skies all night.
Nevertheless it was a beautiful day on the lake with my son and my friend. The chop was just right. We made it back just before the rain.
