Hey guys, I will be fishing a TBBA event at turkey point in July and was just wondering if anyone on here fishes that area. lso wondering what techniques and lures you find work best. Thanks

The marsh complex at Turkey Point is loaded with largies. Also, you can run across to Long Point Bay. You'll have unlimited (thousands of acres) of water to fish for largies inshore in the canal and cattails and bullrushes and out on the sandbars for smallies. I grew up fishing it, and it's still phenomenal today.

Everywhere I have fished for largemouth on this side of Erie a 6 inch zoom worm or lizard will catch them most of the time, Junebug or watermelon blue fleck. The top water bite on this side of the lake for largemouth generally sucks.

 

Wind direction plays a role on this side, summer winds, usually from the south - southwest pushes water out of the bays dropping the water levels and making the fish move to deeper water. They may hold on any deeper channel with a rip-rap wall. On your side a south - south west wind might help?

 

It is unusual to catch smallies here in the back bays after the middle of May except occasionally at night. A main lake thing after mid may, tubes, drop shot, blade baits, and here you need 20 - 30 pounds of smallies for a chance.

 

If you have`t been there? Pre-fish and try to get an idea of what might work and where to try.
