Trolling???
(Preview)
Here is a picture of some folks attempting to retrieve one of Dale Strochein's shanties that went adrift down at Sturgeon bay. I guess they got most of his shanties back, but not all of them.

CAUTION! another bad spot
(Preview)
The crack running south from 10st dock (the yacht club) has open spots. A quad almost went down coming in tonight. If leaving the yacht club DO NOT turn right and cross the crack!! keep going south until the crack curves towards the east. The part running north south is wet. DO NOT FOLLOW TRACKS ACROSS!

Got on one 4" perch right off the bat around 1 then just watched schools of these little guys come in and out for the remainder of day light. Set up for walleye before sun down and waited it out...

Tip-Up Tips in Current
(Preview)
I have my own philosophy on running tip-ups in 30+ FOW with current, but I'm in need of suggestions. I had a few baits that would get swept downstrean in heavy current near the Narrows...which lifts the bait even further off the bottom. I'm starting to rethink how I'm setting up. Any tips? How do you se...

Whitefish Jigging...
(Preview)
I went back to my spot again today to try my luck again on whitefish. It seemed like my luck was still with me. I managed to ice two lawyers and nine whitefish. They were a little finicky today compared to yesterday so a different jigging style was used on them today.

Almost had my limit of whitefish. I didn't get it but I had GREAT day and a GREAT time. The first hour I was there I iced five whithfish and the rest came scattered through out the day.

Tuesday Walleyes
(Preview)
Here's a couple Rapid River boys who brought in some nice fish last evening. They caught them all jigging and lost some others as well. They've been catching fish pretty steady for over a week now.
