went out on the lake today ran into a bunch of the FLW pro's. Hope they had better luck then we did very few fish over 2lbs . talked to jimmy Huston he pulled up and ask us if we had any luck. we told him not really he said he was having a hard time getting a big bite said he caught lots of little jack fish but nothing big. but all in all a fun day on the lake
Saw couple pros down by south shore today while down there too.
I was out on the south shore today as well. We caught several small fish but if I had to take a bag to the scales ....hmm I would say we had about 21lbs or so in just 6 hours and about 45-55 fish total. I seen UAWBIGDOG on the water as well. He pulled up as we were pitching fish out of the live well. the bite was slow early in the morning. The best bite coming in about 6-8 fow after 9 am. We caught them on tubes and drop-shot also Swim baits.....beavers
Can't wait for Saturday with the EBA

I was out there Saturday too. Saw a fair amount of pro boats later in the day. I didn't recognize anyone and talked to none. Most were far enough away I didn't even recognize which boat/team they were. I think the IAMS boat is the only one that ran by close enough to read. We caught mostly small bass to decent keepers, but got a few better quality ones here and there. No real pattern or plan we could follow for the better fish. cameraguy and I fished US waters only.
Friday I took the wife to Munchies Bay and we spent all day there partying with friends. Watched the fire works at Mac N Rays that night. No fishing. Saturday went with friends in their boat to Algonac Harbor Club. Spent the whole day there partying and swimming. No fishing. Sunday went out fishing. Saw Jay Yelas, Scott Martin, Keith Pace and others that I don't know. Caught several Toads on the Canadian side and south shore from the Belle Hump to the River. Mostly Small fish and lots of Perch. Saw lots of big fish on surface and cruising. Must be well fed on bugs still. Most would not bite.
Dan your web time is one hour off.
I fished LSC on Thursday. That was the really nasty day that started with Rain, and the cold front moved through with kickin' north winds and then cleared the skies with high pressure.
I put in at Marine City. I had always heard that the river bite is no good in June/Early July but I wanted to try it. Never caught a fish in the river. Ran down to the lake and went over to Walpole. Lots of fish on the walpole flats eating bait, but nothing over 2.5 lbs.
By this time the N wind was howling. Moved out to deeper water outside of the flats. Worked cabbage out to 19', caught fish in about every depth, but never found good fish. Mostly 8 - 12" fish, even in the deep stuff. Even on the "protected" N side of LSC there were 3 - 4 footers out off shore in the deep water, so it made moving around not so fun.
I hope it was just the conditions, either that or I totally forgot how to catch good smallies. Never saw another bass boat all day.

Naw... the lake is weird right now. Yeah, some guys are on the big ones of course, but we caught the same size fish too from 5 feet to 17 feet with a few nice ones mixed in here and there. But we had WAY better weather ;D (thank goodness, although that meant the square tuna boat waves got worse later in the day). I give you extra credit for giving the river a try anyway. There are fish in the river, but it isn't the same as it will be later.
Dave, how so? (about the time?)
