It started off too windy to slow troll fligs, so we made a trip around the lake trying to find a spot out of the Wind that held some fish but after looking along the North dike, then the West dike and not finding what we were looking for, we finally headed over to the Island and found what looked good but it never panned out. With the wind finally dying down, we went back to our always productive spot and within minutes had our first fish on. We stayed there for another two hours or so and a little after 2 PM we called it a day. We ended up with 5 or 6 cats and one eye. It wasn't as fast as last week but we did not spend as much time in our area either, so we felt good about what we caught. Pink tiger fligs did good today but we also caught them on other colors. Alan found some baby fish in the walleye's stomach but I'll let him tell that story. Enjoyed getting out there with you today Alan, got to do it again soon.I’ve been wanting to head out there recently. How is it for bank anglers?
Ripnlips has had a couple of succeful trip out there ishing from shore, here is a link to his last trip:

Catching from shore will continue to improve as the water warms but I think you could catch eyes from shore right now if you were to fish the West dike in the late evening or night, as they are spawning and they move in close to the dike to spawn in low light conditions.
Thank you! I’ll be doing that. I’ll be be sure to post an update when I head out.
