Just wanted to say hi! We used to live in the UP and fish out of Little Bay de Noc in Escanaba. Moved back down here a few years ago. We have a 19ft starcraft that we came into mid summer last year. We had some excellent success with perch last year. This year will be our first trying for Walleye down here. We are based in Newport but plan on getting our Ohio licenses too. Hubby works too much so we only get out on Sat nights and Sunday am and pm weather permitting. Talked him in to taking me out last Sunday for a few hours in the afternoon. We drifted near the Raisin River. Marked a lot of fish (previous week we marked nothing), but not a bite to be had. Water was pretty choppy and lots of debris from the flooded river floating. Watch out for the logs and be safe.
