Marine City has one dock in as of Friday afternoon. VERY SHALLOW!:eek:

Water was still fairly muddy as of 6:30pm.

Algonac docks are in. Walked the boardwalk yesterday afternoon the water is clearing up with a liitle bit of debris in it.

Did manage to get my boat in at Marine City, but boy was it touch and go!

Lowered the out-drive just enough to start the engine, then used the trolling motor to get out. If you launch there, stay toward the upstream buoys on the way out.

Did some trolling by the Edison, (St.Clair). Had some good strikes on firetiger body baits, and chartreuse/ silver spoons. Couldn't get hooked-up. Some of the other boats managed one or two fish. Water was really muddy. Stopped marking fish around noon.

Cruised over to Port Lambton, (Canada), water looked good and marked lots of fish, but my partner needed to get back. ( Need a new fishing partner! ):rolleyes:

Mordenk,

We were following the warm water discharge from the power plant. We were in about 22ft of water and marked most of the fish from about 200 to 300 yards from the discharge. Water temp was 45 to almost 50 degrees.

Not sure exactly where we were in relationship to the drop-off but, I think we were pretty close to the edge.
