Smallies

None that I've seen. We're just leaving after a four day weekend and due to weather we were unfortunately stuck in the bay for 2.5 of those days, not one fish hit while we were bait fishing, jigging, and trolling. We did great on Lakers Sunday though, which are our main target species until late June.

EDIT: Water temp this morning was 53.0°F in the bay, in case that's helpful to you.

Thanks guys. Ahh to make the trip this weekend, or not, decisions decisions. 
 

Yes, it's definitely a trip I start monitoring for a week in advance. Can handle up to 3 footers with no problem, but much above that, it starts getting scary.

Usually during this "prespawn" phase, there's a good jerkbait bite going on out on the main lake. 

Fished PI at Perry's on Sunday with no luck, spoke to several people that got one or two in the morning, needs to cook another week or two.

Thanks for the info, all.. anyone heard anything about the main lake over by the stacks or NE marina?

Murone,  I fished from shore toward the boats that were 50 yards from me for an hour or so then went to North pier where a guy got a 15lb cat fish and a nice smallie at the same time, very funny so I helped him land both but no other fish were caught while I was there, heard they were getting perch by parking lot.  Going up today. I will report when I return.

Thanks for the help, everyone.

I decided to push back for another week or two.

This was the biggest from Friday, lots of small ones Saturday.

Hey Zippy - great looking smallie...   Heading up next week, did you see any action in PI or is it just the main lake? 
Any water temps a few days ago???
 
Thanks !!

Real good news!! Headed up this weekend. Bass Tracker Pro Team 170, hollar if you're out. 
 

Pretty wicked on north pier today wasn't much happening

Also, like Lampe Marina, offers access to both good spots on the main lake and bay.

Might see your boat Sunday. Definitely will be out for Lakers all day Saturday but Sunday I might be in the bay looking for the Smallies I suck at catching (LOL) if it's too rough to get out for Walleye off the point. Sea Ray 215.

Yesterday in the morning was decent, caught 20, and a largemouth, then the front started rolling through and really shut them down, only a few in the afternoon. Poor Boy's Golby Tubes were the hot bait. Also hooked a huge walleye right off of the GE stacks, got it to the side of the boat, and went to scoop it, but it thrashed one last time and broke me off. 

Today, had planned to fish the main lake until the wind picked up, then head to the bay. One fish caught on two bites, and then the bay actually ended up being rougher than the main lake IMO. 

It's started, but needs to warm up a bit, and have the weather stabilize, to really get the non-stop action going. 
 
 

Nice fish John!!
