Fishing Report Port Bruce Monday, July 2nd

[BrentEve]

Got to bruce around 7am.... spent 4 hours out and only got 2 eyes and 2 white fish. Fun time for 2 rookies trying to learn on the fly. Had one guy come up behind us and snagged my line. Had to snap it and lost a redfin then somehow my father-in-law managed to tangle my 5 color lead in the prop had to jump in the water to untangle it all.... got it all out but now I have a giant tangle to work on while watching some weekday TV.

We stayed in 35- 42 FOW and caught everything at about 20 feet deep. Firetiger color spoon and purple rippling redfin worked for us. Worm harnesses failed as worms kept going missing off the hook like I said still learning as we go!

Oh and the bugs were almost non existant. They started to act up around 830 am but by 840 am they were gone again

The walleye trolling is just starting to pick up. We were out of Bruce today also and managed 16 eyes and 3 perch most of our fish were in 43-45’ and down around 30’. It was a spoon bite for us today Malibu Barbie was the ticket for us.

Try running a 5" senko on the worm harness, pumpkin with chartreuse tail seems to work. Doesn't attract as many bass and sheep and stays on better

No bugs I hear? Packing up the boat tonight and will be down about everyday for the next 2 weeks

Just keep fishing... You will figure it out. Lots of advice on here and I have searched youtube for help too. Lots of guys post great info on there. I trust my electronics and expect a hit when I see good markings. If nothing happens then I start switching lures, depth and speed. Seems to work for me...

Nice Silver Bass. Nicer walleye tho.

I was out with Horty Monday in same area as u .
We had hard time keeping 4 rods in the water we put other 2 in
All our fish we caught on worms

What speed were u going or how did u hook them ....might be reason for coming off ???
Or could it of been perch stealing them and u didn't notice the hits ?
He marked tons of bait up high and lots of fish around them...caught 5 perch trolling
