Fishing has really picked up the last
week or so. Bigger and Bigger Bass
are being caught daily. These Bass are really not that deep for this time of
year. The best Smallmouth fishing has been in 20 to 30 feet of water. Fishing
near Deeper water and near current has produced the best on Big Bass. Places
like Chapmans Shoal, Eagle Wings, Quebec Head and Bluff Island have been best.
Crabs, minnows and worms for live bait and Senko's, colored
tubes and 1/2 ounce Rattle Traps for the artificial side seem to be working
best.
Pike fishing has also been real
good to some people fishing along the Palisades, Fishers Landing, Oak Island
and Krings Point. Look for Pike in 15 to 25 feet on the edges of the
weeds and near structure. Try Bucktail Jigs, CD-9 Rapalas and Sinking
Yo-Zuris in natural colors or minnows.
Walleyes took a while to get to the humps around Clayton and Alex Bay but
as of the last few days I think the walleyes have found them. Good catches of
Walleye have been taken from Carleton Island to Fishers Landing.
Try a 5/8 or 3/4
ounce Dark colored Bucktail Jig or a 1.5 oz Jigfish tipped with half a worm. Stay in 18 to 35 feet of
water near structure.
Perch fishing is the same as the past few weeks,
alot of dinks and a few patches
of jack perch. Finding the
big ones takes time and
patience, but they are out
there.
GOOD
LUCK
