I'm back

It's been too long since my last post and it's not because the fishing stinks. Quite the contrary, it’s been pretty good and that's one of the reasons I haven't posted anything lately. I’ve been too busy fishing and working on assignments.
I finally caught several fish on a writers' trip last month. Uncle Josh/ Kalin's sponsored a writers' trip on Lake Erie out of Presque Isle Bay and the fishing was good for both smallmouth and largemouth. My first full day of fishing there I caught nine smallmouth with my best five probably weighing 15 pounds. I also caught 13 largemouth in the bay's lagoon with the largest probably weighing more than 3 pounds. The largemouth were busting baitfish in the morning and we caught most of these schooling fish buzzing a dirty avocado Kalin's 4 inch grub along the surface. Dragging the same grub along the bottom in the bay and jerking a purple/pearl Spro McStick produced all of my smallmouth.
This was the second time I've fished Presque Isle Bay and both times the fishing has been great. I would highly recommend visiting this great fishery if you ever get a chance. For more information on the area, go to www.visitErie.com .
