Pretty typical pre-spawn Sturgeon Bay bite. The big ones were up and biting. Ned rigs with the 3/32oz hail mary ned hed and the 1/8 oz scope tg with the little swimmer were definitely getting the most bites. The ned was getting the bigger bites though worked real slow. Those Rock sand transitions really hold all the big ones this time of year.

Casting small swimbaits on isolated pods of fish that are cruising the flats. Great way to put up some numbers in early May when the bottom baits just don’t seem to work like they should.
