October 1 on the bay was a fun half day of fishing. Whitefish and smallies on the same bait in the same areas was quite amusing.
Schooling fish chasing small bait made our finesse methods a good choice.
We do not keep smallies but we do keep walleye, whitefish and perch. My favorite is perch and that starts in about a week. But hooking 16 whitefish in a few hours was fun for now.
