It's boom or bust, however. When they are schooled up and close to shore, it's easy limits. Otherwise, it can be a long day for a few fish at best. No one keeps up on the action as close as the staff at Mike Lurch tackle in Hammond. Give them a call a (219) 989-0575 for the latest info.
SMALLMOUTH BASS
Which came first, the smallmouth or the goby? That's an easy question to answer. The smallmouth bass came first, but since the arrival of the round goby, smallmouth bass numbers have zoomed upward. It's an easy combination. Smallmouths like to hang in sheltered rock areas; gobies like to hang in sheltered rock areas. Fortunately, smallies love eating gobies.
It's hard to quantify the exact number of fishermen or numbers of bass being caught. What is known are bass boats zooming from one spot to the next, an increasingly common sight these days on our Great Lake. I figure they wouldn't keep coming back if there were better or easier places to fish.
