Presque Isle Tips

Im a shore fisherman as well, and fish at the peninsula a few times a week and i like to hit up the lagoons and throw some topwater frogs and just some texas rigs. Thats prolly my favorite spot, but check out the piers to.  I like to throw tubes and ive recently had a lot of luck throwing weightless wacky rigged senkos.  I pretty much just target bass, idk about perch so much.  You could prolly go out on the edward john, its a perch charter.  Also be patient, its seems like the fishing has been very slow this yr.  

Watch out for the beavers too, right Slick?

Welp, looks like I'll be staying out of the water for the most part.

thanks for the tips gents, I'll be going topwater I guess, don't really know how to fish a weedless worm. Think the fly rod could work? I may take one with me.

Do you always get worms with a tail like that?

What kinda motion would you recommend retrieving them? Fast, slow? Twitch the rod tip?

:D

you cant go wrong fishing the channel.  every time i am motoring out to or back from the lake, i see bent rods all along the pier.

Liberty park isn't bad either a lot of marinas hold a lot of fish. Also, I wet wade myself and have never had a problem with leeches however, I normally use caution and use old soccer socks you can find for a few $$$ to take the chance of getting leeches on you. The head of the bay is a great spot for wading doesn't get more then a few feet deep. If you have one bring a fly rod and try stripping streamers A LOT of gar in this part of the bay they are a lot of fun to catch and ancient looking creatures. I like walking back in the weeds and pitching small tipped jigs that are 1/4 ounce which bring out some of the larger bass but predominately throw smaller worms if your looking for numbers. Also try just up the road at the stink hole somedays fishing is good throw some small spinners and spoons as slow as you can. You never know what type of fish there are in that area just watch your step because there are some drop-offs. Hope this helps!
