Would like to know the results of the tournament held on the 26th. I happen to be up there at the time at my home in Stonington and used the launch out of Kipling each day while I was there. I fished several days out of the North end with very little success. I have been coming up to the Bay now for over 20 years this trip had to be the slowest I have ever seen the bite. I had a hard time coming up with 1 keeper per day. Spoke to boaters coming off the lake and had the same results. My expertise doesn't come with Walleye Fishing but I have had limits in the past 3 out of 4 days in May. Whats your thoughts on the bite, I see your fishing for Smallmouth Bass and Perch.
