3/29/2008 9:18:00 PMSuckerfish are plentiful, but its a walleye-like tap, so have a tight line and be ready for anything resembling a tug. Smaller hooks will get you some small trout and whitefish, while larger baitgobs and hooks will get the bigger suckers to fight. Spinners were putting out trout before, but I havent been out in a week, and the water levels changed. Worms were great, and you can get them right near where you fish at the Nine Mile Feed store.

3/29/2008 9:26:00 PMLast time I saw the catfish they were down near sportsman's paradise, a month ago. That and the carp. Cats might be found out near willow bay as well, thought shore fishing will be tough.
