Wilbur.....I do not see them on the bank today side scanning. They maybe in the some of the little back bays. I side scanned quite a bit today. I went east of the island and saw a few on sidescan in 8ft. East of the buoys. I hunted for about 2 hrs before dropping a line. Was SLOW and two VERY LARGE drift socks kept me at .5 By 10am I was the only boat out drifting. Everyone was hugging the shore but did not see many fish bringing them over the side! My guess 10 boats out today. I was catching smaller fish and kept only three good size fish. Catching them on 1/80oz jigs I dressed up for the dance.

Bill, they are just not there. The population has been severely damaged. When you started coming down the population was decent. There was an announcement made early this year, then retracted, regarding the change in length and number limit. They decided not to change it this year but it is coming. They need to ask the anglers because the hoop net surveys are biased and not really producing mean results. I let this issue be known with several other very good local anglers 3 years ago and they are all in agreement today. The areas I used to go to following "patterns" now have 75-80% less fish. What used to take 2hrs. To get my 10 now takes almost a half a day. Yes , areas that held 4 fish now have 1 , 8 now 2 and so on. I would like to here your opinion after a couple of more trips. I hate to say it and this won't be a popular statement but the population has been mismanaged.

I totally agree with you. Evergreen recieves a ton of fishing pressure and I think the population is suffering BIG TIME.

I was there 3 times last year and did good all 3. This is the first time I got a big goose egg. But now that you mention it it has slowed compared to 4 yrs. ago. Thanks Sparky which you would of posted this before I bought a year pass.

For you not to find them, especially pre spawn is a sign of things to come. Drive another 1/2 hour to Clinton and you won't be disappointed. Evergreen will come back if people exercise some conservation during the spawn for sure. Hope for high water.

Anyone planning on going this weekend?
Might give it a shot Saturday, they should be moving shallow. Good luck to all.
