Smallmouth fishing is definitely slowing down. Some anglers are still finding them but not in numbers any more. Largemouth fishing is getting good though. Most anglers are flipping jigs for them along with throwing swimbaits. When the lake is fishable walleye anglers are crushing fish. Most anglers are reporting 45-60 FOW is the sweet spot. The usual diver bite and running leadcore has been the most productive. Keep an eye out on the weather for the rest of the week, the next few days should be fishable but that could change. Good luck to every one going out. TIGHT LINES!

Bass fishing in the bay is still good, with anglers reporting both largemouth and smallmouth. Best ways to target them is with drop shot or jigs with swimbaits. Walleye fishing continues to get better. Anglers are starting to report good catches during the day with the best in 40-45 FOW. Plugs and spoons both on divers work the best. Watch the weather for the up and coming week with mid week becoming a little bumpy. Remember this can change day by day so always best to check ahead. Good luck to every one going out. TIGHT LINES!

Going into the weekend the forecast looks good till Sunday night with thunderstorms developing. Remember this can change out of no where on Lake Erie so always be careful and check before going out. Anglers are still getting smallmouth and large mouth in the bay. Mostly on swimbaits and jigs or drop shot rigs. Walleye anglers are doing good during the day in a little deeper water then normal 20-40FOW. At night the bite is still hot between 7-15FOW. Trolling shallow plugs at night is the ticket. During the day deeper plugs or divers with small spoons if you are out deeper. Good luck to every one going out this weekend. TIGHT LINES!

Fishing was rough over the weekend with the wind. The lake kicked up and walleye fishing was imposable. Some anglers did go out Sunday evening and braved the waves with success, reporting smallmouth and largemouth bass. If the lake stays calm walleye fishing is good during the day and night. During the day reports of 18-30FOW and at night anywhere from 7-15FOW. Good luck to every one going out. TIGHT LINES !

Going into the weekend it looks like today(Saturday) we could experience some weather. Depending on the wind, parts of the bay could be not fishable due to waves. The Lake most likely won't fish either due to wind from the Northwest and west through out the weekend. If you do get out anglers are still catching plenty of bass in the bay and creeks. The night bite for walleye has also been good with the day time bite picking up. Be carful over the weekend if you do go out. TIGHT LINES!

During the day recent reports are getting better but its still not great. Guys have been jigging and dragging crawler harnesses. Smallmouth and largemouth are being caught in Presque Isle Bay.

The weather has not been great the past couple days with rain and high winds. But the Walleye bite at night has continued to be good in shallow water, this can be done from shore or a boat. During the day reports have mainly been a jigging bite in 20-30 ft of water. Smallmouth are still being caught in the bay , although the majority of fish have moved to beds. The weather forecast for Saturday doesn't look great but its looks like it is going to fishable Sunday and Monday. Have a great Memorial Day weekend !

It was a rough weekend for anglers. Between wind and rain most anglers struggled. Some did report success when braving the elements. For this up and coming week its hard to say what this cold snap will do to fish. Possibly could make them have lock jaw and hunker down. If this happens, fishing a little more methodical and covering water slowly could be the key. Drop shot, tube dragging and slow swimbaits are always a good choice. Walleye anglers are still having good success when fishing at night when the lake allows it. Reports at night are between 8-12FOW pulling shallow stick baits. Good luck to every one going out this weekend and watch the weather. TIGHT LINES!

Going into the weekend could get a little rough. Keep an eye on Saturday, the wind is suppose to pick up mid day. Anglers are still reporting good success in the bay for smallies. At this point there are fish in shallow and deep. Just depends on how you want to target them. Dragging ned rigs and drop shots are very effective in shallow. As for deep, swimbaits and jigs are always a good choice. Walleye anglers are having good success at night trolling and casting. Not much is happening during the day. A few anglers are picking them up though. This can only get better the deeper we get into the season. Good luck to every one going out this weekend and be safe. TIGHT LINES !

Over the weekend high wind speeds gave many anglers problems. It was a mixed bag of success with about 50/50 with reports of good numbers of smallies. Walleye anglers did the best at evening into the night. With some casting plugs off the beaches while others trolled the shallow water. Continue to watch the weather to pick the best possible wind for fishing. Good luck to every one. TIGHT LINES !
