Anyone got any lake temps up in the TC area? How is the fishing up there? Going up this weekend

[TheFishinPollock]

The shallower inland lakes like my lake are up in temps  and the bass are starting to spawn. Gt Bay is cold still. Prolly won't hit temps for another week or so .

[BIGSHOW]

Mine is a pretty shallow lake (bass lake) by silver and long lake. Hope the weather is good

[BIGSHOW]

What lake are you on fishingpollock? were you the guy on birch?

[djkimmel]

I think it's a secret...?

[TheFishinPollock]

yeppers   thats me. They are starting their spawn here, what's left of them .

[bigmojet]

Arcadia lake temps last night were 60-62. The channel to lake Michigan was 52.

[TheFishinPollock]

The only secret Dan, is my lake only has 10 fish in it

I'm fishing East Bay in the morning and will give you a report tomorrow evening.

[fishndooder]

Bays were 49 on the surface after an 86 degree day a day ago.  Hope this helps

[BIGSHOW]

thanks guys, let me know skeeter. If you can help with any start point that would be appreciated. Im not sure where to start there out there on the bay

[skeeter6217]

Fished from 8 to 3 and smoked'em. Launched on the pennisula and went to elk rapids first and them worked south.

FYI.... U can't launch at elk rapids due to the dredging.

[bigmojet]

How were the waves? Pretty windy today.

[BIGSHOW]

Where is the pennisula launch at? Or a good one to launch at

[skeeter6217]

Yea, it was rough but the spots we fished were protected. Had to throw the drift sock out on one of the spots.

Take the road out to the pennisula and the boat ramp is probably 4 miles on your right. Can't miss it.

FYI... When and if they dredge tomorrow at elk rapids it really muddies the water. Get there early and catch your fish before they start dredging.

When I got here saturday my lake was 74 degrees. Very surprised. After the cold day sunday it dropped to 65. But caught 50+ fish every day. Havent made it to the bay yet,very windy

[djkimmel]

Plus, the Bay dropped to 43 and was fishing very slow over the weekend I've been told. This week may start helping get that fired back up a little.

[BIGSHOW]

Never made it to the bay. Crappy weather. Did catch alot on my lake. Also got my first walleye on the lake. Their not native to the lake. Someone has been releasing them from other lakes. Nice little 22" fish. Threw it back to get bigger.

Friend of mine caught a few fish, one a five pounder, on the beds on GT today. Not many on beds but a few.

[rangerfan]

I fished east bay this past Saturday ...water was 62-64 ...lots of empty beds,some with suckers gobbling up eggs..more boats than I ever seen on bay...I caught 24 smallies for the day ..nothing over 4#. There was a small tourney going on and a gentleman told me 21# won it....I'm sure its not done yet up there. Mid week would be best.
