My buddy got his limit in 45 feet about a week ago. I havent been out myself

Word is they had slowed up drastically with the north winds turning the water to chocolate milk... When things  straighten up I would assume they will be hitting again at Gary.. also heard there are some fish at the hole in the wall but not as big of size as out by the lighthouse

any new update on the perch?  were you guys using minnows with rigs?   I've been told in the past you could troll near navy pier in illinois for BIG Jumbos.  I'm looking to go Saturday.  any info would be appreciated if anyone out there wants to hit up on a radio. Channel 71 is what I'll be on.

thanks

   Just wondering about how far are they going off shore?

[wallin]

Depends on the fish, Gary light-50 to 55 fts the word.
Minnow and Perch rig - drop shot rig-2 hooks out the side with weight on the bottom.

Maybe 1 mile from the Light.
