My cousin and I went fishing Friday afternoon and once again the bluegills were hitting pretty well. It was one of those days where you sit for a while without a bite and then the fish turn on like someone flipped a switch. The bite started about 7:00 pm and lasted for about an hour. I caught 9 fat bluegills and my cousin pulled in 4. I kept them all as they were all above average size. If you are fishing the piers and not catching any, simply move around until you find some fish.
The other day I was down at Presque Isle and was amazed at the number of bluegills that are in the Waterworks Pond. There are literally hundreds of bluegills swimming close to shore in the pond, however, due to their large numbers the fish are stunted.
There are some nice ones but the small ones would probably get your bait before the big ones would find it. It would be fun though to take a kid fishing in the Waterworks pond as I am sure they would see a lot of action.
The summer is winding down and in about two weeks we will start seeing steelhead showing up. This fall's run should be excellent again with many large fish. Around September 1, I will start scouting the area streams once again and let you know when the run starts. May your lines be tight and your hooks be happy!
