Trolling 4/12- 4/13

[Fishing Tiger]

Hi Tom,

There is no need to trailer far. The reef complex out from Port Clintin is full of fish right now.
There is a nice public launch at Catawba, otherwise plenty of smaller private launches around.

If you are looking for big fish I would work around the Bass Islands in 30 plus water. There are still a lot of pre spawn females staged there. The key is to find stained water. Not muddy but not clear. Trust your electronics, they should clearly mark fish if they are there.

If you want to work the reefs for males, hopefully someone else can give you some places to start. We target bigger fish this time of year and the reefs will have drifters and jig fisherman looking for the large number of males, as a troller we try to give them their space.

Good luck and have fun.
