Returned to my "homeland" to escape work and reality in cheeseland, but still got my friendly BS from Mr. SeeWahl of Bay View Bait. Wouldn't be a trip "back home" without it.
Therapy/Rehab from Red Wings loss in the Stanley Cup....*ow*
Anyway, fished very early TUE AM June 17th on Big Bay from 6am to 1pm. Went with my Uncle who lives on the Big Bay side of Stoninghton (sw?) We caught 22 bass and 1 walleye. Launched from Namah. Used cranks. Kept the boat in 8 to 12 FOW and ran the cranks from 6 FOW to the 12 FOW. Fished from Popular Point, Porcupine Point, and to where the mouth of the Fishdam River dumps into Big Bay. 16 of the 22 bass were 11" to 13 5/8" [The "JV" bass]. the other six were 14" up to 19". The one walleye was 22inches. All bass caught and released. The walleye made a really good broiled sandwich later on.
Connected with Mr. SeeWahl later that evening and we fished the Esky river.
Fished upstream by the houses toward the bridge. I think it was 15 or so bass between the two of us in just about 2hrs of fishing. Most were 11" to the 13" plus range. Had a few in the 16" to 18" range. Used a White 1/4oz spinnerbait and my favorite crankbait a Manns Baby -1 in "Sexy Shad", called SEX-A in my boat. I also call Mr. SeeWahl, Mr. Senko. He borrowed and used one of my holographic black/silver Manns Baby -1 baits and caught two or three, including last bass of the night.....
I love catching and releasing bass. I fishing the Door County area intensely and the Bass de Nocs (Ford and Esky Rivers included) too from very late May to about Fathers Day weekend too and I feel fortunate to have such a fishery to do so.
Tight lines and lots of fish to you all, I think summer is finally here to stay.
