    Presque Isle

    Going to be coming up to fish the bay/lake May 17 and 18. Are things looking good or will we likely be too early?

    I know someone that fished a Kayak event up there last weekend and they did well so you should be good.

    Sunday 5-12-19 the Cold 30 mph ENE wind filled the bay with cold dirty water. I turned around and went home.

    For last couple springs, it's been really hard to get 3-4 days of consistantly good dry weather there this time of year. .

    Sounds like the winds & rain crapped up the bay & lake for a little while

    Any updates on smallmouth fishing at Presque Bay? I have been planning to bring my two sons up on Wednesday and fish for a few days. Been looking forward to this trip for months but may just hold off for a few more weeks if needed. Been coming up for several years now just before Memorial Day and we have had great bed fishing. Any advice is much appreciated.
    Thanks in advance!

    You might want to wait a few weeks. have been up there the last 2 weekends and the fishing has been slow. the weather has not been corroborating. winds, rough water and not warming up much

    I would definitely wait a week or two. The fishing was terrible this past weekend.

    Fished over at Sandusky and killed them had over 300 fish in 5 days. Biggest was a 5.2 smallmouth. It was my first time on Erie and I was blown away. Definitely be back soon. Whats the best month for fall fishing? We are use to KY lake and Guntersville, we found out real quick you must respect the Erie weather.

    Just now starting to get good. the Bay is a good place to start just watch the weather if going out on the main lake . I always stay at the Super 8 out on 90
