I'd go but I am without a vehicle. One is for my son to get to work; the other is for my wife who is going to visit family.
I was there last week on Monday. Only one bite I saw out of 15 people. It was on a crawler.
5:00 am may be a little late. I set up at 4 at daybreak. There has been sporadic times of good fishing this year. I think the tourney is this weekend.
Heard from someone that alewives and shiners can be very good. Live, of course.
Good luck. Maybe we can meet up another time. I am south of LaPorte.
