Fished the "Clinton Reef" area today, 2 walleye, one white perch, and a bonus gobie.
All the walleye were throw backs to grow up and they were caught on my spreader , one took the night crawler and the other the golden shiner.
The Jet Express was running today~!
Plenty of trollers working the area and a some drifters.
I had one hook up with my gold erie deerie, but could not land it, one of those hits that are there and then gone.
I plan to head further north the next trip weather permitting.
Hope you can get out this weekend and if you do,
Be safe.

Went back to Clinton Reef area this am, and it was very foggy for most of the morning.
3 walleye, one was big enough 15 1/2 inches and the other two were too small to keep, they all went back unharmed.
2 of the walleyes were caught on the spreader with the worm and 1 walleye using a purple worm harness.
3 sheep head , 1 white perch and 1 yellow perch, all on the spreader and worms.
I did not have any golden shiners today.
Did not go to the islands today due to the foggy conditions.
Many boats were out and about ~! The start of summer is here.
be safe,
back soon

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,

Thank you Water Dog for your reports.
I fished South area of Clinton reef last weekend. One time I noticed we went over what appeared to be a school of perch. A few minutes later my friend brought in a 12 inch perch. I'm going to try dragging a spreader like you do for a while also.
