      Report: Fishing was kind o strange up there today. Fish were not relating to points or cuts, they were on eatureless banks with brush. I ended up with 7 keepers to 2.5 lbs and missed 3 others. 4 ish came on jigs and 3 came on a reaper. Fish were rom 15 to 60 eet. Bite was lite. Best bet was to pick a streach o bank, put the trolling motor down and ish the whole thing rather then run rom point to point.Mike Niemi
