    You are close enough to the Nelson Park/Sailboat Club but that has been slow all winter or either of the spots off Fishermam’s Road. Guys have been going out on the Black River at the Airport Beach for ‘eyes or Camp 22 or probably best would be the turnaround at the end of Fisherman’s Road for ‘gills. Hard to say this time of year. Spots seem to be more hit and miss it seems lately. Good luck.

    it is definitely hit or miss right now. We are in the “dog days” of winter right now. Panfish have been really hit and miss for me, mostly miss But, there are fish to be had. Once you find them the next big issue is getting them to bite Any of the areas mentioned above are quick and easy places to try out. Good luck

    French Island can be good in some area’s if I was you first you should check down at 22 ( Fisherman’s Road )go all the way to the end and there should be some people out there everytime ive been out there ive either caught gill’s, Perch, Crappie, and every once and awhile some Walleye action to. So try down there.

    22 is NOT all the way to the end of the road I was just down there a couple days ago (22) and it was not worth the auger gas to drill a few holes Talked to a few guys and they had very few bites. One guy had 2 crappies in half a day of fishing.
