My wife and I fished out of Morris Pt. 12-16 and 12-17. Our routine started at 8:00 in 17 ft of water west of the access. Saturday we iced 3 fish and missed a fourth.Sunday we were able to ice 5 fish before there were no more fish showing up some where around 9:00-9:30. These fished ranged from 15-17″.
From shallow water we headed north and west to deeper water. Saturday we picked a spot in 25′. The fishing there started out a little slow but once the schools started to move through at about noon we were kept pretty busy with alot of dinks and many keeping size sauger and walleyes. The fish slowed down at around 3:30 but we caught quality fish until we quit at 4:30. It was just a little longer between bites. We did not keep a strict count but we guess we iced somewhere around 50 fish more sauger than walleyes.
The lures we used on saturday consisted of chartruse/glow Buckshot,small airplane jig in same color, pink/glow jigging Shad Rap, and the last jig was green/glow wide body airplane jig. For the terminations on the dead stick we used gold 1/8 fireballs and a #4 jig that was chartruse with an orange spot on the front and glow on the back.
Sunday we were not able to reach the spot we fished on saturday because a crack about 18″ wide had opened up overnight and was not froze over. So we were forced to pull up short and fish in 23′ of water. The bite on sunday was different than satudays bite. We were only 50-70 yards from saturdays spot but the fishing was slower and we caught more walleyes than we did on saturday. Sundays bite was tough we threw alot of different presentations at them but nothing seemed to stand out. When the fish did come thru we were able to trigger a strike. We quit at 1:00 and iced around 20 fish not a bad day but not like saturday.
