Dow's Boat Rentals

The state’s largest lake continues to see some good bass and crappie fishing despite low numbers of anglers fishing the lake according to Laurie Murphy over at Dow’s Boat Rentals. This past week saw some better weather with more moderate temps which helped bring water temps into a more normal range for this time of year. Most of the better fishing was around the bridges and bulkheads on small jigs tipped with Gulp, plastics and small live minnows fished under floats. In addition she mentioned a good dark hour bite of walleye and hybrid stripers along with some nice catfish starting to build. Laurie ended her report by saying the fish are here where’s the fishermen?

Fishing on the biggest lake in the state continues to get better as water temps warm up said sources over at Dow’s Boat Rentals. They said with so few anglers fishing it’s been hard to get reports on the fishing. The crappies and perch are still being caught around the bridges on small jig combinations and some walleyes with a few hybrids mixed in are being caught by night fishermen. The one thing that we have been seeing a lot of is the cormorants and bigger fish, especially muskies feeding on the trout that were stocked, they said. Cormorants have also been feeding on the shoreline fish like sunfish, shiners and other small fish, we were told.
