Last time for me was last Thursday out in front of the Catt. Fished from 2 till dusk with 2 leadcore lines and harnesses. Landed 5 keepers, 7 perch. Lost a few eyes on the fight. Best screens were in 58 to 64 fow. There was a wind shift from SE to NE just as we got started. I think it cooled a good bite from earlier that morning. Good luck. I heard 80 feet was productive from guys at the launch.
I was out of the Catt this evening 4 till 8. Managed 4 keepers 15 to 22 inches. 1 short, 7 white bass, 1 perch. Had a good eye bite that cut the harness clean off. A little bumpy. Northeast wind and close together waves. Nice evening.
Fished out of the Catt Wednesday from 3 till dark. Slow out at 70 to 80 fow. Moved in and east of the port around 7 pm and had much better screens in 60 to 65 fow. Ended up with 6 keepers, 1 short, 1 perch and 1 sheephead. All on harnesses. Best eye was 25 inches.
Hi Slapshot, I fished with a friend today from 1 till 8 pm. Out of the Catt in 70 to 80 fow. Boated 9 and lost 5 or 6 more. Biggest 2 were 25 inches. Leadcore 7 to 9 colors. Harnesses. Good luck.
That's great news about Sturgeon Point launch opening on July 15th. I wonder what changed. Thought it wasn't going to open this season. Thanks for the heads-up.
Water is not as deep out from Point Breeze as it is out of the Catt and west... start looking for other boats. That will help get you in the area. Try looking in 60 to 70 feet. Good luck.
Fished yesterday afternoon and evening. Towed a guy in who was stranded out in 70 fow which delayed our fishing for about 3 hours. Bite had slowed by the time we got started. Ended up with 4 walleye and 5 nice perch. Nice afternoon regardless.
