Little Bay de Noc Fishing Reports

  Today's trip was with some great guys from the Crystal Falls area.  14 yr. old Nicholas and 16 yr. old Noah along with their dads came over for a day on the bay.  I was a little worried that the bite would be tough with the northwest winds and post cold front conditions, and tough it was.  We started out in the "black bottom" area and caught a couple keepers there and some undersized walleyes, then it got real tough.  We headed up to the north end to try some shallow weeds, and the fish were there, and some nice ones too.  We caught a pair of 22's and a 20 incher, a sheepshead, and a small northern before that bite slowed.  We then put the trolling gear away and headed back south to drift a breakline I've been getting some nice fish lately, but the fish did not want to cooperate.  We ended up only getting 5 keepers today.  It looks like the weather will be getting better for the weekend and some south winds should get things cranking again.  Here's a picture of today's kept fish, good luck from all of us in the Bay de Noc area.
