Michigan Waters

[fishhead315]

Being from Toledo, I would say 75% of my fishing is done in the Michigan waters out of SSP and Bolles. Yes I know how to read . Fully agree it is water temps as well. The main reason is that the majority of fish are now the bigger fish from the 03 year class in the lake meaning they dont tolerate the warm water. Erie goes in cycles with her bounty. I will be fishing out in the Michigan waters tomorrow evening as there are still plenty of fish there just not schooled ip .

Like Tom Ebijack said in his post, the Michigan fish in the summer are in places you wouldn't think. Guys who look for a steady report to catch their fish there are never very successful. Think outside the box and you may be surprised by the results.In this case this summer the pack is not your friend. Learn the area and try different areas and you may be surprised. Fishing memories will make for some not so good trips.

WOW, I started the thread and it got hijacked, lol! I've been fishing since I was a kid but only seriously fishing since my daughter was 2, so almost 14yrs. As to the hijacked topic I will throw in my 2 cents since I did start the thread. DNR sets the limits based on what the lake/fish population can support. We follow those laws. The laws state quantity caught and minimum size. They do not specify maximum length or ***. That is a personal decision for each angler to make for whatever reasons they chose. If I caught a 30 incher, that baby would be coming home with me whether its male, female, or hermaphrodite! I don't care what anyone thinks about it. I am not breaking the law. It would be my RIGHT to make that decision.
