Those drifting and trolling for bass have been fishing in 10 to 30 feet of water using jigs, crawler harnesses and rapalas. Sizes range from 10 to 17 inches. Perch have been caught using minnows and crawlers in 14 to 30 feet of water in Raspberry Bay, near Dutchman's Bay Public Access, near the city of East Jordan in the south arm and near Boyne City Harbor.
