Slow Day On The Bay

Checked out many places in the Bay today. Water temp still on the chilly side. Bite was real slow. Many anglers about today. Finally a bit of warmth in Erie with temps in the 40's. People everywhere off the piers and docks. Talked to alot of guys, either no bite or a few small perch. From my experience, about a week too early. I never usually get into them until after St.Patrick's Day. The only "hot spot" this week was a report coming from the Stinkhole. Crappies were caught, some decent size, from the guys in boats just offshore. Crappies will soon head closer to shore to find that warm water in the natural coves that hold good cover. I would advise hanging on another week to do any serious angling. It will start to get good very soon.
