Great bite, Ed.

I was hoping to get over to Detroit this spring, but the schedule didn't work out.
How was the visibility?
What was the depth?

Visibility was not bad but it was slow for trollers, we fished 19 to 22 fow.

I've never launched out of bolles or sterling st pk, mostly just jig the river. Did you go out of bolles because of the size of you boat, marina availability or better bite potential than sterling?

We like Bolles because there are more docks, is less crowded, deeper and a short drive to the lake.   Sterling has a fish cleaning station which people like (I clean my fish at home) and it draws a big crowd. They have fewer docks and you can run into launch lines on weekends.   Sometimes coming back in on weekends is a pain because campers are launching pleasure boats to ski and tube mid day when anglers are returning and it can be a cluster trying to get a dock.  It also has a longer drive to the lake which can be kind of shallow if we get a sieche from a strong west wind.  People also like Sterling because it is right in Brest Bay which can be more protected from a north wind.  If fish are north by Stoney, Sterling is closer but if they are south by Luna Pier or Toledo light, Bolles is a lot closer.  There is usually good fishing out of both ports   I just run my boat where ever out of Bolles. All the good fishing are reachable from there.
