We landed 5 out of 8 fish last night while fishing the east side of town off the old hammer mill building. Fire tiger bombers off the boards were the lure of choice.

fished Presque Isle bay today and caught 11 smallmouth in 2 hours. plenty of nice fish between 14 and 17 inches and a few pushing the 20 inch mark.

Bite was slow last night but we were able to land 4 out of the 7 fish we hooked. Nothing big but all of the fish were 20-24 inches and 3-5 lbs. Renowsky plugs off the boards were the bait of choice.
