Where the Fish are and How to Catch 'Em!

LARGIES/SMALLIES: The bass are starting to be a little more aggressive. The water temp is still in the low 70F sot hey have not gone on the feed yet. The largies are starting to move out of hte inner bays tot he deeper water. Try fishing the outside points in 6' to 12' of water. The smallies are roaming and are not bunched up yet. Where you find one, there may be 4 or 5 more around. Wait until the water temps are in the mid to low 60's and where you find one, you'll find a whole school. Honey Harbour, Beausoleil Is (inside), Present Is.
Top Lure: Spinnerbaits (firetiger), Senkos, tubes

WALLEYE: The walleye fishing has picked up. There are a few fish starting to bite in the Waubaushene area, also dragging a worm harness or bottom bouncing out off Methodist Is has produced some of the bigger fish to date. So try off Gore Rock, front side of Methodist Is (facing Snake), Snake Is., Red Bouy at Present.
Top Lure: Worm harness with bottom bouncer, small Rapala, jig & grub

PIKE: The pike are starting to move back to the bays. Still a little sluggish - slow down your presentation. 8' to 14' is a good bet. Trolling big Rapalas bas been key but slow down. Hoggs Bay, Sturgeon Bay & Penetang Bay have been good spots.
Top Lure: Musky Taker spinnerbaits, Rapala 18's

Muskie: The Muskie seem to be scattered. Reports of some fish being taken trolling as well as casting. Pitchin' Bull Dawgs or Suicks on weed edges in 10' to 18' of water have produced some numbers of good fish. The trolling has been on middle bay humps. Try the area around Hillbank or the area around Oriole Rock, careful there is a lot of up & down in those areas. The big Backwater fish came offthe Sucker Creek shoreline in 30' of water on a mirror image Jailbird Believer the day before the full moon. Also took 2 nice fish between Moore's Pt & Hillbank - 51" and 53".
Top Lure: White Bull Dawg Lures, Jailbird Believers

TROUT/SALMON: The salmon have moved into "The Hole" just in fron of Ginn Rocks. Best time is 4:00 pm until dark 85' down in 100' to 120'. Lyman's Glow pattern with red dots and red head has been the ticket! Later on in the evening try flat lining deep diving crank baits.
Top Lure: Lyman's - pink or red dots and red head, deep diving crankbaits
