Fishing and Hunting Michigan

Fishing and Hunting Michigan Old timers sharing their love of the outdoors. Tips, suggestions and experiences from the old timer group. If you are catching fish on jigging spoons, share it.

Outdoor folks sharing their passion for hunting and fishing. Unlike other sites, this site is to assist each other on techniques, answer questions, share information and promote fun traveling destinations. Do not need to share local honey holes but the information would be great. I like to travel the state and when I find a neat vacation spot I will share it, and hopefully each will likewise. Share where you stayed, was it good?

Walleye fishing on the Detroit River has kicked into high gear. The best fishing over the past 3 days is on the Canadian side. From the Ambassador bridge downstream to the 2 rock and Steel Mill areas.

Guides Todd Venema of Third Coast Charters, Bryan Buist of 2 b caught charters and Ken Clark of Fish Mas Charters enjoyed 3 great days on the water. Blue Ice, pomp daddy and black ice were very good plastic colors.

Some anglers are using unpainted jig heads while a few others are using pink, chartreuse or two tone colors. we will be on the River starting Tuesday thru Saturday.

Enjoying great bluegill fishing. Four trips out and excellent results. Trolling with Bo's bluegill spinners, sometimes on the bottom in 20-34 feet of water, other times suspended fish. Wen using my boat we run two sets of Driftmaster Rod Holders. Can run 6 rods easily without any tangles. Using pencil weights on a slider system to keep the weights away from the lures and easy to change weights.
