Western Basin
Walleye fishing was good in the western basin during the week of June 1. The best fishing continues to be around the island complex including W of North Bass Island, Northwest Reef, N of Kelleys Island and E of Kelleys Island. Farther west the fishing has been good NE of West Sister Island to the Canadian Line and around the gravel pit. Drifters are using bottom bouncers with worm harnesses or are casting mayfly rigs. Trollers were catching fish on crankbaits, worm harnesses fished with inline weights or bottom bouncers, and also on spoons fished with dipsy divers or jet divers.
Yellow perch fishing has been best off of Cedar Point and around Kelleys Island. Perch spreaders or crappie rigs with shiners fished near the bottom produce the most fish.

Wednesday, June 10th, 2009Top Five Posts of All Time (Review)
Wednesday, June 10th, 2009Over the three years I have been writing this blog about fishing in Michigan, my most read posts have juggled for the top sport from time to time. For a long time in the beginning it was about pike fishing, or the moose that walked across my uncle and aunts lake front property in the Upper. Since Kelly Gotch announced her leaving Michigan Out of Doors, the outdoor sprite held the top position, but this morning that lead is no more.
It must be global warming, or the fact that it snowed in the Upper last week when temps dropped down to 28 degrees overnight, but there is a new leader. Its all about the ice fishing around here from November through March, but this is a first for the month of June. The blog about my favorite walleye ice fishing reels has taken over the top spot. It wasn’t long, or full of lots of pics, just short and to the point. More of a teaching thing that allowed anglers to pick a quality reel for a good price.
