Tough couple of days in Sturgeon Bay but the bites we got were big. Put a 6lb 6oz Door County mega in the boat! 6th Provoke jerk baits were the deal!

Fishing the first wave of fish looking for beds with a drop shot with a short leader and the key bait was a 3” keitech goby color. The fish were not locked onto beds but this fish were aggressive fighting off other fish who were also looking for beds so they were in an aggressive pattern and would instantly hit the drop shot with the keitech goby. My biggest was 5 3/4 pounds which is in the picture. Water temp warming up just a couple of degrees fired them up. Also fished cruising fish with a 1/16 oz tungsten round head with a 3” goby keitech and they were biting that until the water temp changed a couple degrees and then they started cursing looking for beds and not interested in eating unless they became aggressive trying to fight off other fish when looking for beds.
