Hit the same area with only a few boats and started to pick up some fish in the 17 to 19 foot range depth. Boats were quick to hit the same area, and it looked like an armada out there with everyone playing well in the sand box. Planer boards, snap jigging, and even slip bobbers were seen from other boats. We used planer boards with spinner rigs and crawlers and also flat lined 2 other spinner rigs. Fishing was steady with an occasional flash of multiple fish on. The most consistent producer was the flat line spinner rigs at 1.1 to 1.5 MPH. 14 nice fish for the morning and many more released. Left before the storms rolled in. A great day with friends and good fishing to boot.

Green Bay will always produce but you have to be versatile in your approach due to factors that can change day to day and even in the same day. Weather and water temp have can create big changes in what you will do. Where and what worked today won't always work the next day especially on GB at times. As for the snap jigging try using a hair jig above the reefs or weed beds, let it sink give it a snap up and let it sink, little lift and drop and reel up the excess and repeat. This works well on calm days. use braid and watch line. You will see the bite a lot of times before you feel it.
When you get some chop planner boards all the way. Right now live baits are producing better. Once you start to figure it out it only gets better.
