    Detroit River 4/21

    in Lake Erie Pier and River Reports

    Thank you for the report Wheels! We found that adding stinger hooks to our baits decreased our losses from hookset to the boat. I am headed to the Detroit River tomorrow. Hopefully the fish will cooperate.

    Stingers were on, with the light bite that was the bite, I don't think I was setting it hard enough. When I would pickup the fish were just on the line, didn't feel any "hit"...

    Good to get out....:thumb:

    :thumb::thumb: Despite the known muddy like river conditions, I tagged along with Indybleck for a Detroit river expedition.

    We worked the steel mill / mud island areas from 7am - noonish.

    Water visibility was not good, maybe 4'6". Threw everything possible at them, 1 oz jig, blue ice plastic, is what hooked the most fish. Brought home a single good eater, and lost 2 NICE fish on the way up...very heart breaking.

    Thanks Tom for the trip! No place better to be! :thumb:

    I've been using my ice armour blue suit as a rain suit. But, I haven't needed to use it in WARM weather, so I'm not sure how HOT it would be in the dead of summer during a rain storm. But, it is windproof and waterproof...

    I became a forum member last year, but never got around the site to much:confused:. I am from Davison, MI. Avid fisherman, outdoorsman, and paramedic. Looking to gain knowledge, and share info. I am also on MGO quite a bit.

    I attempted last year to get into salmon fishing, but now unemployed and need to sell what I have. Hope to meet new people and talk fishing.

    I'm right down the road from Davison Jared....actually right next door.

    I'll shoot ya a message when I'm looking to put some butts in seats on the boat........:grin:

    How long are your trips on average?

    I'll stay out there as long as it takes and conditions allow. Black flies? We just deal with it. The mayflies hatching is pretty extreme from time to time while fishing eyes, but you can move and get away from them. On limited availability to fish I try and make every trip the best it can be.

    What's everyone working on?

    I have been working dilligently on the following:

    Being a father and an avid angler, I have been working on finding a solution to being 3 places at one time...

    I need to be at the office, I need to be at home for the kids, and I need to be on the water as often as possible. Along with this magic trick I have also been working on how to grow a money tree. I'll keep y'all posted :grin:
