Do you think the northern winds will shut the fish down for Monday? Forecast looks great for Monday but I didn't know what the wind Sunday would do to the fish.

Hoping all those cigar boats from the races in Michigan City stay far away from the ditch area today. NEED PERCH, NOT WAKE....

Lake was like ice this am. Started off slow then we found a massive pod. Ended up with 24. Couldn't find the pod again to claim our limit. After looking for over 1 hour and only boating another 1 fish we pulled the plug. Beautiful day 2 b out.

Long day, 68 keepers for 3 of us today. Yea that lake was slick this morning. Beautiful day.
28 to 30 ft with that spot lock was the ticket. Grandson got 2 perch over 14 inchs.
Sorted thru lots of small fish, used 8 dozen minnows.
Al did you go out of N B today?

No stayed by ditch. Only fished for a few hours. 31 foot 4 me was best. Had plenty of bait to chum afterwards. A shame throwing away at that cost. Need to find a stainless tank to keep minnows alive thru heat.

NO WINDS TODAY OUGHT TO BRING THOSE PERCH CLOSER TO SHORE.

M C area today also.
Wed were hoping to get out again.

What do you think the wave height will be with a NW wind tomorrow?

They are calling for light and variable winds tomorrow. Waves should be around a foot, maybe less

Depends on speed of the wind . My weather says 5 to 10 if that's all its gonna be should have nothing more then 1 to 1.5 foot chop . I use Michigan city buoy .com it shows picture and wave height temps ect....
