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 males on beds in ephram and sister bay with a drop shot with a short leader and the key bait was a 3” keitech goby color. Not fish caught were 3 3/4 pounds and a few were 4 1/4 pounds. Lost caught of 50-75 fish caught and returned right away to their beds. If fish didn’t bite the drop shot, I could follow up with pitching a white tube to fire them up. Fish were in 3-8 feet of water and water temps were 62 and sunny. Super fun day of fishing.
