Frankfort

[Fishing Report]

Michigan has a new state record brown trout and it was caught in the harbor at Frankfort on May 13th. The fish weighed in at 36 lbs 13 oz. beating the old state record by 2 lbs 3 oz. It was 43 inches long with a girth of 27 inches. Boats trolling for brown trout have been catching good numbers of fish in the early morning and late evening. Most are fishing in the harbor or along the shoreline all the way up to Point Betsie. Try rapalas in silver, gold, firetiger, chartreuse, and orange. Pier fishing has been slow. Water temperatures are cold, so very few bait fish are hanging around the piers.
