I was up there last weekend. Fished out of 4 mile bay area. Caught lots of fish varying in size. Lots of 12-13 inch but enough of 14-17 to take home. We mainly stayed in the morris gap area, 11-12 ft. We anchored but most others were drifting. Tell him to use frozen shiners! They will out fish live fatheads 10 to 1. We had lots of people watching us catch fish after fish as they got Zilch using fatheads. Great time of year to be up there. My son caught a 41 in stourgeon in the Rainy River. What a blast that was. 20 min to get it up. Hope this helps
