Fall smallies
Water temps in the bay have dropped into the mid 50's after this last big blow - time to start chasing smallies on the breaklines! Made my first trip this afternoon, and finally broke the 20 inch mark this season, (crossed paths with several since the opener, but they all managed to get off.) Worked the west bank between Escanaba and Gladstone this afternoon. Saw a lot of fish on top, but they weren't super active. Did manage to fool three into biting - 17, 19 1/2 and 20 1/4 inches. Also caught 2 small bonus pike. Caught them all on red tail chubs on a drop-shot rig.
