    Bite during the day is fair drifting weed edges and rock piles. Smallies i heard are biting, where and how not sure. I havent fished after dark since May so cant help on the night bite.

    Been slow as of late, got 33 keepers in June off Spirit but last couple times outs been slow( 4-6 fish a day) Trolling lead or longlining will produce if your patient. Don’t expect the numbers like the past few years even with the new slot we may only catch 15 fish to fill 3 limits of 12 all keepers being between 14.5 and 16.5. I did limit on the 4th but only boated 6 eyes and a few perch. Those came on spinners/leeches on bouncers
