I got skunked both times on Lk. Michigan this year. Last year I averaged two fish per trip. But due to health issues at home, my trips were far fewer than last year.

Finally made the first trip of the year on the big lake, and went 0 for 0 (unless you count the three balloons I pulled out of the lake). Marked fish in 60 to 90 FOW, all huggin the bottom. Threw everything at them, spoons, flies, body baits, but could not get anything to go. Varied speed betwen 2.2-3.0 and changed directions many times. But it was a beautiful night and got to spend some time with my dad. Hope some of you had better luck!

I agree. I have yet to venture out this year because of time, but am not chomping at the bit like I normally am because of the reports coming in. I still enjoy catching lakers and like to eat one here and there, but silver fish are what gets my heart pumping. It's hard to say what the season will hold, we will know more when the season is over. I too hope more silver will show up. Good luck to all!

Nice looking fish, Ed!

Nice haul, Ed. Great time with the family, thanks for sharing!

Don't forget the life jackets. I did that once the first trip. Luckily I remembered before we got the boat in the water.

Gord, I have always loved looking at your pictures. Thanks for sharing them.

Nice! I went rabbit hunting yesterday. Took my dog out for the first time. She put one out in front of me, but didn't like the sound of the shotgun. She slept good list night.

Nice job on the squirrels. Great way to spend a winters day.

Nice job, and nice story too!

Nice Buck Ed! Good Luck on Saturday. Should be fun with some snow on the ground.

Nice Job. Thanks for the report.

Asian Carp.

NO!!!!

Nice to see a good report from South Haven. Nice job on the kings!

Oh my gosh! The kid's ahead of me already and I've been fishing over 30 years! Nice job putting him on that beast.

Awesome pictures Gord!

Nice job out there!

Nice job Chris!

Nice job Chris. Sounds like a good box.

Nice job. I went out in the evening and the fleas were just as bad.

Went out of South Haven last evening and went 1/1. Caught about a 5lb. king on a Big Lake Lures UV Patriot spoon. 82 FOW, 40' down on the downrigger on an east troll. What was a first for me was this was a hatchery fish with it's adipose fin clipped off, never caught one before. Got the bag and form from the cleaning station and am anxious to see what info comes back.

Overall,a beautiful night on lake!

Sounds like a good time! Thanks for the report, hope to get out tonight.

Thanks for the report, Tarrey. Take heart, I've only made one trip so far this year.

Thanks for the report! Nice job on the fish.

Good luck on the trip. I look forward to seeing that episode of MOD.

What a beautiful fish and gorgeous lake conditions! Thanks for sharing that awesome video.
