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.
you'll be right on time!.......as long as weather gets more "consistent" with warmer/dryer weather.

Should be prime time. was there last Sunday put 18 in the boat, water temp was 51 in the bay.
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
I am on it now...its slow. Water temp is 59..

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

Anyone have recommendations for hotels in the area that are boat friendly and safe?
Fishing was tough again today, water temp 63*
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.

Headed up friday..never been before but it's on the bucket list so time to knock it out..are any spawners still left on beds? Is it better inside or outside of the bay? Best cheap place to stay for 1 night?
