Better Bite...

Little Bay de Noc, Michigan - Freshwater Fishing Report
Between Gladstone and Escanaba
Day 2 with Randy and Judy started out great. Definately a better bite than we had yesterday. On our first pass trolling Walleyes Choice harnesses we landed two nice fish and lost three. The bite wasn’t fast and furious, but every now and then we’d get one. Which kept us in the same area for a while longer. We caught 5 nice fish on harnesses before deciding to go troll some crankbaits in deeper water with leadcore. This produced 5 more nice fish , one throwback, and a bite off by a large pike. We were trolling in 30 to 40 feet of water with the leadcore. Their fish from yesterday were a bit on the small side compared to today’s, but they said they made for a good meal last night. Here is a picture of todays catch as well as video of me putting them on “the stick”. Good luck from all of us in the Bay de Noc area.
