Maumee River Report– May 10 ,2019- WHITE BASS TOURNAMENT TOMORROW

IF YOU TARGET THE WALLEYE YOU WILL GET THEM.

The water is settled from the high winds two days ago and we are starting to see fish in numbers again. Its going to be a very good weekend. Orleans, white street and along the towpath  have been the good spots for the white bass. I we can get to bluehgrass this afternoon as the water continues to drop we should see some good action out there, especially since Bluegrass hasnt been fished in over 3 weeks.

 

TOMORROW SATURDAY MAY 11 IS STILL LOOKING TO BE SUNNY AND WARM FOR THE WHITE BASS TOURNAMENT.
