Went out this morning (Sunday) and started out on the east side of Kelleys in 38' of water. Caught a few small perch about 6" a couple of sheeps and 5 white perch. Moved close up by the Marblehead light house, the water was dirty and tons of boat traffic made it impossible to fish. Heard on the radio about people getting them off of the NW side of Kelleys so we ran out there. Again a bunch of small perch, sheepsheads, and white perch. We fished a total of about 3 hours and didn't catch a single perch big enough to keep. It was also very hot and the bugs were bad so we called it a day.

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.
