I fished solo this morning in the River, near Strawberry Island. Embarrassed to say I drew a blank..........IIRC I did lousy last year the few times I went out there also. Next time I go it'll be from the Small Boat Harbor into the Lake, maybe inside the breakwalls only but that'll be dependent on the winds.
I used live bait this morning, smaller golden shiners. That could have been part of my trouble...........I like the bigger minnows that my dad always called "bass chubs". Not sure what they are as my memory isn't clear on it. Soft shell crabs weren't in stock, just hard shell. Never had good luck with the hard shell..............
Hardly anybody fishing, maybe four boats all morning. {7:30-11:30} Not too sunny and just a slight breeze that kept things moving. Two cigars and a bottle of water filled my needs.
