We are starting to see quite a stream of shiners the past few days in the river. Water temperature is falling, currently at 61 degrees this morning, down 5 degrees this week. The stage is getting set for the walleyes to start pushing up river soon!

Currently the best bite is in 25’-30’ outside Pine Island, Long Point and Zippel Bay. Crank baits or jigging with spinners or jigs tipped with a minnow have been equally successful.  The Lighthouse Gap has been a good place too, especially late afternoon and evening.
