I guess earlier in the week when it was cooler they were getting quite a few from shore. Lake is not right, weeds are hardly growing at all, seems sterile. Would venture there was some winterkill last year. Never went out there and had such lack of fish, not even your usual crop of little ones. Crappies are not in the shallows yet, water is still kind of cold.
Some gills are in though.
Got a few half way decent ones. Also a friend that was with me got a nice walleye. Fisheries Society and DNR was there later in the night. I guess they shocked like a 5lb smallmouth. This was about the typical rate that everyone was catching them at.
