No place I'd rather be in May, Sturgeon bay is a special place. Any cast could be your biggest smallie ever. Tons of fish and the average size is incredible. Fish are starting to move up shallow and they are excited to eat. Tubes and ned rigs on rock sand transitions sub 10 feet are a great place to start.

Smallies are pulling up shallow right now, find any grass area that leads shallow to the rock and you'll find them cruising around.
