Brenton Bay 7/2

[Big Mike]

Yak67 and myself hit Brenton Bay this morning for the first time this year. Should have been fishing it more frequently. We got into some small rocks within feet of the launch at Abell's Wharf. After that we pedaled off to greener pastures and found ourselves in white perch heaven for a while with some 14-15" rocks in the mix to spice things up. We decided to continue to explore and headed off towards a point. About half way there I picked up a 17 1/2" fish in a seemingly random spot. We quickly hooked several 17-18" fish before they moved on. We discovered there was a very nice hump there that came up to 6' from 15' around it. At the point we were back on the perch and found several very interesting ledges and humps that look like they should hold quality fish. None there today but definitely worth a visit. I put on a Yo Zuri crank bait and picked up a very nice 22" fish at the hump that had produced earlier. We left shortly after that as the boat traffic was picking up considerably and current had stopped moving with low tide. There are multiple edges and underwater points in this area that make for some very fishy looking water. Our FFs were lit up with bait just about everywhere we went.

Good job on the success in BB. Never fished it. Might have to give it a try. I kayaked it once prior to me getting into yak fishing, its a pretty spot. Yak67 glad to see your going to do the white perch tourney. I'm really looking forward to it. Big Mike are you going to make the tourney?

[Big Mike]

Sorry, I don't fish tournaments, it's not why I fish. Good luck to you if you do. Give a shout when you want to fish down here, most likely I can fish that day.

Mike - I'll take you up on that offer later this summer. In the meantime, tight lines.
