You talkn about turn around buoy of the shipping channel??? How far west is that from west sister?? Thanks and good job out there.

[PZeiler]

Yes - the turn around bouy at the end of the channel. Painted red, white and blue. Fishing coordinates of 48n & 10w. Casting to a 8 count. Bouncers on the bottom 1 crank up. Waves were 2-3 feet. fast drift. I was not using a drift sock. Found a small pod of fish and kept working them. 3 - 6 fish each time we drifted through the pod. Pod only about 1/4 mile wide

Fished B can for perch on 7/4. Two men took 30 perch in fishing on basically one pole due to equipment problems. Only fished for an hour and easily could have had our limit but went in b/c we had other things to do on the 4th.

Just desk top fishing, and I am trying to find these coordinates on the 14830 chart that you can view on line, I see west sister but dont have any numbers on the map that show the 68 n 10 w, so my question is , what are the numbers for a starting point like west sister and from there how can I measure the distance from that position to others so as to show where you are and where to go. or is there a better chart available for this ?

Check your PM's

Make sure your far enough west...Fished north of west sister on the same line between west and middle sister and didn't have the same success. Talked with a guy at the fish cleaning station who was out by you PZeiler.

Tuesday night the casting bite was on. 2 miles north of west sister. 30 walleye in 3 1/2 hours. Only 3 were 15"- 17". There rest were bigger up to 25". Several small ones caught also, even a few 6" ones. Gold hammered blades fished very slow near the bottom. Bite was on the swing of the lure.
