      Alewife

    Fished about 12' look for rock and find the fish. Wind was from the east at about 8-10mph. The fish seemed to be in small hunting packs, you would catch a few out of a spot and then they would move on. best to keep moving and searching for that hard bottom with rock. Best technique was to make long pauses, I mean looooong. I would get it to about 8' and let it soak. sometimes it would take 10 seconds before they would take it. Ended up with about 30 in the boat, no absolute monsters, but all decent fish none the less.

    Fished isolated rock piles in 6-10ft. Caught 75 fish on the day. It’s starting to heat up out there.

      Perch

    Fishing flats with scattered rock in 8-10 feet produced the most bites and the jerkbait got all of our bigger bites including a 6 and a 5. Working it erratically seemed to trigger the most bites and the bigger bites. Perch was definitely the key color because we experimented with several others and didn’t get bit.
