Thinking about taking my Dad Sunday. How crowded does the bay get? I have only fished up there in the summer.
Sunday the bay was calm, clear, and the fish turned on to a great bite. Lots of smallmouth caught.
Monday the wind blew hard out of the NE and the bay got muddy, the temps dropped, and the fishing slowed way down.
Yesterday was a beautiful day, but the bite still is not hot and heavy.
Smallies still coming in, some deep, and some shallower. Bucks are making beds on the flats.
Water temp yesterday was 59 to 62 in the bay. Laggons were 64. Lake is 49.
My walleye fishing buddies limited out sunday jigging in shallow water.......... could not get bit yesterday.....that NE wind changes a lot of things up here.
Just got back from Presque Isle. Got on lake around 9:30, and fish Perrys Monument and westward in depths of 5-8 ft. Stayed on 6-8 ft contour with boat, and fished parallel to and cast in shallower with jerks and cranks. Managed around 25 in the first few hours. Around noon, the SE winds shifted, and started blowing out of the east, and as soon as that happened, the bite shut off. Moved to a couple other areas, and picked up 6 more Smallies. After that, went in Lagoon, and guess what was hitting back there!........smallies!!! WTH!? We caught 6 smallies and 6 lg mouth back there.
Got off lake around 6. All in all not a bad day. Biggest today is the one in picture. It went 4-1/2 lbs. Most went between 2-3 lbs.

News is calling for bad storms on Saturday.
either Dave exaggerates a bit, or he knows where they are at! I was there the day he says he caught 200 smallies, and if he did this in the bay, ALL the power to him. Nobody did very well that day because of the wind shift, and the smallies weren't really jumping in the boat after that wind shift that happened around 1! Maybe he got there real early, and caught alot of those 200 before noon!
I did see him entering the Lagoon around 4 that day, while I was exiting the Lagoon.
