Point Mouillie State Game Area is a windy place even on a day forecast to have low wind. I mostly fished the Phragmites and Cat Tail stump cover. Some green shoots and the moss were just starting to grow, The water was pretty clear. I got about 10 Pike and 6 bass. All were small to medium small except the two pictured. I fished the windy middle water mainly by anchoring and casting to cover. Late in a long fight, I lost a pike longer and much thicker than this one. I tried to back paddle to hold her out of the weeds forgetting that I was anchored, and that's when she made another quick move to cross my anchor line. All hits were on White variations of a 1/0 Great Lake Jiggy Streamers shown below. Chartreuse failed over two good tries. A white and a chartreuse less flashy 2 inch bead head jig also failed to get a hit.
Both of these photos have flying Pelicans or a flying Pelican in them.
