Derby and Deadline

The silver bass are peaking a little early for the Wyandotte Fishing Derby, hopefully there will be some fish left for the excited anglers this Saturday June 2nd. All you need to do is register with the City of Wyandotte's Recreation Department and bring your rod and reel to Bishop Park. As has happened for the past few years local bait shops are providing worms and minnows. If you get a chance stop in on one of them to get the best way to catch silvers and any others fish that could be in the river. Check my bait shops link for the phone numbers and locations and remember to mention Downriver Outdoors.
