"Nice weather out here and it's good fishing spot. Walleyes, sheepshead, crappies, sturgeon: just a variety of different fish,” said Carlos Gonzalez.

“Excellent fishing, but not right now. This time last year it was excellent, but right now it sucks," said Marco, Green Bay. "The people in the right and the people in the left have been catching, but not me."
