Fish species to expect

Harbor and island shoreline with rocky points; perch and walleye common. Target species often include perch and walleye in nearshore rocky areas and harbor mouths.

Best places to cast

Fish rocky points and harbor mouths; use jigs and live bait for perch and walleye.

Reading water and signs

Watch for baitfish schools and diving birds; thermoclines and dropoffs often concentrate fish.

Approach and etiquette

Respect island and harbor rules. Use designated access points and pack out all trash.

Essentials to bring

Nearshore gear polarized glasses and safety equipment for shore or boat fishing.
