fishery took a dive for several years,but seems to be recovering as we have had some better success last 3 years.if local business would start a fishing club as we have on winnebago in wisconsin,it would help to let fisherman safely fish here.downside is more fishermen then.there are plenty of motel rooms in the area,but limited info from bait shops.most years vehicle travel gets tough by january as i stated.pressure ridges the last few years have also limited travel from the west side of bay.hope this helps
