got shiners at szuchs yesterday and should have gave them to someone who could catch fish... We ended up with 20 5 people fishing. Started mile south of mcdonalds buoy and ended up out by the canadian line. Very light bite. Water was turned up, and lots of seaweed floating. Also noticed the green slime about 8 miles out of cooley canal. Wasn't bad, but it was there. Good luck this week

Don't feel bad troy,got my limit but they were on the short side nothing over 9 in mostly 7.5 to 8.5 in.. other guy on the boat got 5 total.... half the time wasn't sure I was getting a bite I would just flick my wrist and sure enough one was there.. half the time I didn't know there was one biting.. and I have a real limber pole..

Sunday we fished about 4 miles NW of the intake. Light bite stealing bait. Few junk fish but not many. Fishing no bling on the bottom. Did better once we satrted cutting the minnows in half and double hooking the halfs. On the bottom with no bling using Crappie rigs. 18-20 feet of water. 3 people and 18lbs at the cleaners. Would have gotten a lot more had we started cutting the minnows earlier but we ran out of bait. Caught one really big Rock Bass. Lost one rod when fish pulled it from the wifes hands. Hit like a Walleye and we have been catching a few Walleyes in this area on perch rigs. Perch size were ok but only a few in the 10-12 inch range. Quite a few doubles.

Did you come in ti Mienke's? If so you were comming in when I went out.

elrod how close to the shipping channel were you? We fished pretty close to where you were and couldn't get a bite.

Quite a ways from the channel. Comming from Mienke's (Anchor point) NW couse and 6.7 miles. There is a drop off line on the charts. I've been fishing anywhere along that line on the deeper side. There is an area of rocky bottom that I have the most luck when I can find it. But anywhere along that line seems to work well. Been fishing it 2 yrs. now and never had a real bad day.
