## Quick answer

Avoid fishing near visible blooms; try deeper channels toward Tommy Thompson Park.

## Detailed answer

Algae typically concentrates west of Woodbine Beach in July heat. Anglers report poor walleye and bass catches inside the bay. Troll toward Leslie Street Spit breakwall for cleaner water and better results.
