We got to the lake Friday about noon , fished off the dock for awhile and got 2 northerns 23" , of course missed a few , went out to big bay about 4 p.m. the wind came up and made it hard to stay put , so John and I went out to catfish bay to get out of the wind , Louie and Earl stayed in big bay , it was calmer in catfish but not many bites , John did catch a 28" 10lb dogfish but that all we got , tried a few other spots but no luck , Louie and Earl did better in big bay they caught 3 northerns 14" to 22" and a 17.5 LMB ... Saturday morning we went back out to big bay , much better weather and very little wind by 11 we caught 18 fish 7 northerns 15' to 30" , 10 dogfish 15" to 28" ( another 10lb dog ) , 1 19.5" LMB , also caught a 12" grappie and a few 13" perch , Saturday afternoon we went out to big bay but the wind was bad so we found a bay to set in , we only ended up with 3 northerns 22" to 26" , Sunday very cold and windy so only Louie and Earl went out ( brave or crazy ) they were out for 3 hours and caught 1 northern 17" and 1 25" dogfish ... even with the windy conditions we still caught 31 fish 16 northerns 13 dogs and 2 LMB and as always fishing with minnows and catch and release we had a great time ( my 47th year coming here ) good luck and hope the wind lets up for you other fishermen and women ....
