I had plans to fish Monday, but that went by the waistside. I did watch the coast guard doing practice runs in those waves. Those guys are pretty amazing what they can go out in. Took some video shots from Charlevoix and Petoskey. Little Traverse Bay was much nicer today. Lake Michigan Gale Force Winds

My buddy Jim had an earlier vacation this year than prior years we went up north. We figured it shouldn't affect to fishing to much, but man we wrong there. Finding the fish pre-spawn was much more difficult. Weather patterns were terrible to fish in as well. This particular day (May5th) the water surface temperature as running 43 degrees and air temperature in the morning was 29 degrees. It was a real roll of the dice this year going early. Each day we fished was a grind, but we did manage to catch some decent smallmouth and walleye, but certainly not in the numbers we would have liked. I'm headed back up in about 3 weeks. I'm thinking the fish will be post spawn then. I may have to try Traverse Bay or Little Traverse. This Charlevoix video below has some aerial views of the lake, underwater shots, and of-course some good fish catches. Lake Charlevoix Smallmouth Fishing

Jim and I put together a video from a couple weeks ago on Lake St. Clair. You will get a nice aerial view of the lake along with some nice fish catches in this video. Hope you enjoy. Lake St Clair Video

The Lake Erie walleye and some Lake St. Clair walleye are running up the Maumee River now. Water level is really low and clear. Tons of anglers out. Check out this video. Maumee River Walleye River Run

I took the boat for a quick maintenance run yesterday out of Sterling State Park. The walleye anglers must be getting them shallow by the number of boats I seen trolling the shallow water near the banks. Here is a drone view of Lake Erie and Brest Bay and the guys out walleye fishing. Lake Erie Brest Bay Sterling State Park Aerial View

Ice is gone. Now we just need the whole lake to open up. Watch for those logs that come down the river and end up in the lake. Maumee River Providence Dam View

Fall fishing on Lake Erie. East winds are never good, but sometimes it can be a blessing when it forces you to fish somewhere you didn't plan on. I'm sure those that fish Lake Erie might recognize this area. Hope you enjoy the video, and good luck to you on the water this year. Lake Erie Fall Fishing

The big walleye run on the Maumee River is almost here. The walleye have been tracked from Lake Huron, St. Clair and Lake Erie. Anglers come from far way for this big run. It's only a couple months away. I took some aerial footage of the river when the water level was way down. I did this of the best walleye spots so anglers could find those sweet honey holes.

Great view of the bluegill under the ice. Surprised at how clear that was. Good footage.

I'm sure a few of you on here have a few fishing bloopers to share. I was lucky to have my buddies Kevin, Dave, Jim, and I capture a few on film. Thought you might enjoy a good laugh today.

I realize not everyone has a boat, and I'm often asked where someone can go and catch some fish from shroe. Metzger Marsh wildlife area is one of those places. Tons of places to fish from shore and catch perch, pike, walleye, bass, bluegill, crappie, catfish, etc.. It's also a great place to duck hunt in the fall. This video will give you a nice areial view of the place.

I wish lived closer to this lake. It has to be one of my favorite lakes in Northern Michigan L.P. It hasn't let me down anytime I've fished it so far.

I did quick trip to Lake Erie this summer searching for bass and was surprised at how many walleye were on my bass spots.
