Cedarville and Hessel

[Fishing Report]

Splake fishing this spring has been excellent. Anglers are catching splake in Hessel around the pier, but the bigger fish have moved out to deeper water 15 to 20 feet deep in Hessel Bay. Minnows, spoons and stickbaits have worked well with and green has been the hot color. Smallmouth bass have also been caught.
