Mid-November Fishing Update

Streams have recently been running low and clear but there are plenty of steelhead to be caught.  Perch are staged in schools along the channel and in Presque Isle Bay.  The other day, my friend and I went fishing in the bay and caught about 50 little guys and 8 keepers.  We really had to weed through them and as soon as our lines hit the water something hit it. 

Generally, November is a good month to fish if you can get out.  Many days are windy and cold but fishing is usually very good.  Hurry up and get out before the ice forms!

Emerald Shiners Moving Back into the Bay.

Today, I did a little scouting off of the South Pier.  I talked with several fisherman and they were catching a few perch.  I guess the other day was a good one for jumbos.  Today, the perch I saw were around 8 inches but the biggies should be there as there were thousands of emerald shiners migrating into Presque Isle Bay. 

Hopefully, I can get out tomorrow and catch some perch.  The water temps are now ripe for catching perch in the bay.  Our nice days are numbered so grab that rod and catch a few fish before the ice jams the channels.  Good luck!
