Tuesday 5/27 report
Lines in by 6:00 AM same troll area as Monday lines out at 10:am.
Total catch 36 small eyes 4 keeper eyes 6 pike 1 perch 1 gill 1 crappie.
This was the most fish I've caught in one day in 17 years.
The eyes must be schooled in this small area Hard to explain.
White blades and chartreuse blades both worked well.
I know the fish will move but the weather is supposed to be nice
for the next few days fishing should be great.
