We started getting snow on the 14th of November and it hasn't quit. We are around 200" for the year so far. The boat pic in my avatar is mine. Its the only one I have on this puter. Pics will have to wait till spring, but I will be sure to take some when I get all my stuff rigged up. I just bought the new big jon brutes, just had the manuals before. Also bought a Radar Arch & Radar with GPS plotter. I just had a handheld before. So it will be a busy spring rigging! Anyway enough of my ramblings.

Priority1 Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Welcome Sean. Let us know if you need any help. I fish mostly out of AuGres MI. on the Saginaw Bay. I do get over to Lake Michigan a few times a year. I'm retired, and fish almost every week day. I have a 22 ft Starcraft Islander hardtop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish God would give us a break on the weather! Glad to be here. Welcome Sean!Do you fish Salmon out of Munising? It' a beautiful area. Yep I do. We only get about 2-4 weeks in the spring and fall for Kings, so we head to fairport the rest of the summer to fish them. Welcome Sean.

I have fished the big reef. We don't fish it much anymore, because there are lots of fats that took over. There is a spot a bit closer called Grumps hump, and a spot right off The Au Sable light house. Most of the lakers you pick up are the nice native lakers.
