Many boats south of "D" can yesterday and today.
Caught 2 keepers on June 5th and 3 shorts went back to grow some more.
Caught 6 keepers on June 6th, and 8 throw backs (shorts), one yellow perch, 6 sheep head, 1 catfish and 6 white perch.
Bring plenty of night crawlers, 4 dozen per person.
I was using a gold mayfly rig with a night crawler.
I drag a spreader tipped with a night crawler to see if any yellow perch are in the area.

Very nice day on the lake, come get yours ~!
Be Safe,

I don't have a pic but I have a Hummingbird helix 5 and what I see is just small black lines against a green,yellow, orange bottom. Another tip. Leave the motor running for 10 minutes after you anchor.

Thanks for clarifying that the head boats only had captain and small crew.I would consider that safer than letting general public join you.Hey island troller,saw ur post on OGF about that huge muskie you caught today,that trashed your net and got away.Wow,that must have been exciting.Have heard of guys landing 30" muskie but you said yours was about 50".To bad you didn't land it and get picture.

several hook ups but they got off`!
using the bright green jig tipped with a shiner.
dragging the spreader with shiners, one bite but did not hook up.

H can area again, one sheep head using a gold erie deerie with night crawler.
Spreader tipped with golden shiners did not produce.
G can area, dropped the anchor to see if I could catch any perch, no bites.
Not as windy in the am today, I think we need some warm weather to get the bite going again.

I have been out west of Rattle Snake Island, and F can area, and have never seen so many shorts~ ever!
And have caught some nice catfish and many sheep head.
And now we have the May Fly Soup~! Healthy lake, so they say.
Bring plenty of night crawlers if you drift, the white perch love them too!
Spreader has not produced on yellow perch lately.
Back at it soon, when the soup is done.
