Perch anglers continue to do well in Oyster Bay, Two Mile Bay and near the Charlevoix Yacht Club in 10 to 25 feet of water using minnows and nightcrawlers. Smallmouth bass fishing has slowed. Anglers have been using artificial worms and tubes, fishing in 15 to 22 feet of water near Horton Bay and the Ironton Channel.
