(AREA) — This Saturday, May 28 is the opening day of large and smallmouth bass season on the Great Lakes and all inland waters except Lake St. Clair, the St. Clair River and the Detroit River, which do not open until the third Saturday in June. The DNR reports that those participating in catch-and-release have caught a good number of fish. The area fishing report in the Thumb shows anglers caught a mix of lake trout, brown trout, steelhead and pink salmon in Lake Huron waters out of Lexington. In Port Sanilac, trout and salmon are being caught and a couple of Atlantic salmon were caught off the outside wall. Some nice salmon were caught north of the Harbor Beach harbor and south of Port Hope. In the Saginaw Bay, walleye were caught off Pinconning. Channel cat fishing were good off Sebewaing and carp are in the shallows all over the south end and the east side where those bowfishing have done extremely well.
