Could someone tell me if there are any reefs worth fishing, arouind the Bass Islands or near Kellys? I have my boat docked at Gem Beach Marina and it is quite a hall to the David Bessie reefs. Thanks..

American Eagle shoal should be holding eyes

This is my first post on the site. I am going to be up on the Bass Islands this weekend and was wondering if anyone could give any advice on location and what is working well. I only get to visit the lake a few times each year and would like to maximize my odds. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hope to come up on Saturday, May 1st... only day I can fish this season before having surgery next week... not looking for GPS coords or anything... have launched out of Wild Wings before and enjoy catching them on the jig bite... Just looking for an honest report and alittle help if possible... its a 3 hour drive, so just would appreciate any info positive or not... Thanks guys, this forum has been really nice to read... keep up the good work... Wish you success in all your adventures. - G
