My wife and I fished out of one of Bayview Lodge's fishhouses. The weather we had made it quite interesting to say the least. We tried to get on the lake at 7 am, but couldn't see 5 feet in front of us because of the wind and blowing snow. We headed back to the resort and managed to get out around noon. We were 8 miles out and in 32 feet of water. We caught 20-25 saugers w/ a couple 'eyes mixed in, and also 4 humongous perch. We ended up keeping 7 saugers, 3 'eyes, and the 4 perch. Action was consistent except for 3-4pm (dead sea) and then picked up again. We caught fish on a little bit of everything, our best bait was a crappie sized glow red frostee jig. If you're thinking about using a portable up there, you'll have a tough time pulling off any of the roads, even w/ 4WD. The resort owner had to plow out the trail to our house and when he came to pick us up the snow had already drifted in to knee high to waist deep!<P>bmc

Fished out of Morris Point resort 1/20-1/22 about 4 miles out in 30 feet of water. Caught about 150 eyes/auger mix in 3 days. I would say it was a 3 sauger to 1 eye mix. Nothing big, but a consistant bite all day. Stayed in our own house and rode out the storm on wed and caught fish all day long. 1 28" Pike on 4# test, wow was that fun!!! Would recomend Morris Point, very nice people!!!!!
