Salmon-Seeing some fish in the Marina bay now, and some are being caught casting spoons and large spinners. We caught ours trolling Salmo and Rapala crankbaits 30-35 FOW.

Pike-Some good fishing for northerns now over shallow weed beds, casting spoons and shallow running crankbaits. Best areas had weed beds that were under 5-10 FOW.

Smallmouth-Seeing some nicer fish moving up on rockpiles and rocky points as the water temps are starting to come down a little. Jigs and plastics and slip bobbers with leeches/minnows have been the deal.

Lakers-Still finding lots of fish out deep,145-125 FOW, and they’re getting a little tougher to catch as we get closer to them moving towards their spawning areas. We had to work our jigs slower and close to the bottom to get them to bite.
