Fished Gino's sunday morning approxiamtly 1 mile out acoording to the GPS.
I was targeting walleye in 10 FOW, Oh by the way some people on this site keep referencing 10 FOW water by the first presure crack but in fact you have to walk out pretty far to reach that depth.

Anyways while looking for the almighty Mr walleye I ran across some pretty good perch action instead. I was using a green GID teardrop for my dead stick and a swedish pimple tipped with two minnows and minnow head for my jigging rod.

When the fish would move in they were very aggressive, had one of the big fish snap my 4 pound test line dead stick rod only to move over to my jigging rod and eat that to, got my lure back.

I was using the Aqua Vue all day so it was pretty cool watching these hogs come from out of the shadows to eat my lures. One good tip that I found while using the camera is when you see your minnow rod start going crazy it usaully means there is a fish stairing it done, simply bounch the bobber of the top of the water a couple times triggers the fish to byte.

I also snapped my line on what I think was a big walleye by the way it felt, could not see it on the camera cause I use it veticly in my jigging hole and the fish was on my dead stick.

Well here are the pictures to prove it.

OH by the way incase anyone asks about the date on the camera its wrong because I forgot to set it when I put the battery back in.

WOW, very nice. I did very good in shallow for numbers(see my report Ginos 3-11), but, no hawgs at all. Hopefully they start moving in shallow like locals say they usually do late ice. Plan on going out tommarrow...when it will reach 68 degrees:yikes:

Ed,
I was the furthest one man fish trap out from Gino's but don't remember sitting outside the shanty at all.
I usally try to keep it closed so that no one can see me keep to avoid crowding.
There were a few people that set up close to me and left with poor results.
You know how Saint Clair is, sometimes its just your day and sometimes its not.
If anyone is interested I have the Exact GPS coordinates of were I was at, just shoot me a PM.
Thanks
