FISHING REPORT

FRIDAY JULY 5th, PERCH FISHING HAS BEEN VERY GOOD. MONTROSE HAS BEEN A GREAT EARLY BITE BUT BY 7 a.m. IT SLOWS TILL LATER IN THE EVENING. BELMONT, DIVERSEY AND MANY OTHER PLACES HAVE BEEN GOOD ALL DAY FOR THE MOST PART. SOFT SHELLS AND SHINER MINNOWS HAVE BEEN BEST FOR LIVE BAITS. ARTIFICIAL BAITS WORKING ALSO SUCH AS SHAD RAPS AND SPINNERS TIPPED WITH SOFT SHELL DOING WELL. THE WATER IS HIGH SO PLEASE USE CAUTION WHEN WALKING ON PIERS AND ROCKS IT IS SLIPPERY IN MANY SPOTS. OTHER FISH BEING CAUGHT ARE SMALLMOUTH, ROCK BASS AND SHEEPHEAD. AS ALWAYS CALL FOR YOUR UP TO THE MINUTE REPORT WE TELL IT AS WE HEAR IT.
