WALLEYE
The this week has been tough due to wind and waves in the afternoon out of the northeast, but expect this weekend’s weather forecast to be excellent. Good locations this week include:
North of the dumping ground in 39 to 42 feet of water. This area produced decent fish, 3 to 5 lbs, with Reef Runner 800 Series Divers. 80 to 120 back on the Inline Board has been working well. Good colors included Fruit Punch, Gold Prism, and Watermelon. Numbers of fish are present but you must stay on them if they are active.
Cranberry Creek west to Old Woman’s Creek is still producing fish on short fat type crank bait such as HotNTot’s and Wigglewart’s in 18 to 24 feet of water.
Offshore N36, W27. There was a good bite pulling crankbaits and worm harnesses.
PERCH
Perch fishing has been steady with a lot of nicer fish being reported.
Huron River north to the channel marker buoys in 24 to 34 feet of water.
Sawmill Creek to the dumping grounds in 27 to 42 feet of water. Bigger fish are present but you must pick through them.
Cooler water temperatures will bring more fish in the weeks ahead and expect it to be excellent. Huron fish cleaning is available at the mouth of the river.
BAIT AVAILABILITY
Bait availability is poor currently. Emerald Shiners are hard to come by this week due to the wind conditions and the full moon. Golden Shiners and Cured and frozen Emerald Shiners are available. Call ahead for bait.
