Genos and Metro back basin catch 1/30
Went out of Genos at first light. Used the vexilar out there with the deeper water. Marked quite a few about 100 yards past the brown shanty in 9 1/2 feet of water. Only got 3 perch: one 9", one 10" and one 11 1/2". Went out to over 11 feet at the last group of people and never marked a fish...Came back to where I was and got 3 more 10". Headed in at 10:00 with 6 fish on wigglers...
Went to the boat launch at Metro, very slow with just dinks. Went behind the island and hit the jackpot!!! In a little more than 2 hours, got 33 keepers between 7 1/2 and 10 1/2 inches. Constantly had fish in the hole on the Vexilar. Got my first few on wigglers, then got some on perch eyes. Then switched to small pieces of minnow and all hell broke loose. Would have limited out in probably another hour...Hands were freezing, had to quit at 1:30. Fish were still biting. Aggressive fish coming up as much as 4 feet off the bottom chasing the bait. I was in 9 feet of water.
My final catch: 39 keepers... 5 at 7 1/2", 25 between 8-10", and 9 over 10"...Good size fish for the back basin this late in the year...Finally the skunk is off!!!

Its on the other side of the North marina across the island in that big bay.
Just a word of caution that cannel that connects the north and south marina is very unsafe ice most of the year. This is were the parking lot drain is.
