schultzs Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 3 man boat took limit this am north of Immerman Park. Minnows and crawlers on jigs. Nothing huge but all decent. A lot of small mouths too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Priority1 Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 GJ Schutlzs. I fished a lot of openers N. and S. of Immerman Park. Drifting with jigs, grub tails and crawlers. I have a rod and reel on the bottom of that river, not to mention a kazillion jigs. We would always drift from N. of Immerman, as far S. as M46. Our best was N. of State Street Bridge. I haven't fished the river in about 10 years. I do miss the fishing, but not the goat rope at the launches. I have a friend that has a place on the river, and opening weekend I would leave my boat there. That made fishing the opener a lot more fun. I did launch a few times opening morning.

schultzs Posted April 28, 2008 Author Share Posted April 28, 2008 We fished north of Gratiot Sunday [Drifters area] from Center Rd launch and only took 5. Others did better, some worse. Immerman was not crowded Saturday at all - the river had many boats but not the zoo of past years. A friend started where we did, took 2, then went north of Immerman and limited out. Every fish we took was male. Glad we didn't fish the bay - I hear it was brutal out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Priority1 Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 My Bros fished the bay Sat and took a pounding. There are a few spots to duck some of the wind. I was in A.A. for the U of M graduation. A friend and fishing partner of one of my bros finished 3rd in the tourney. One of my brothers sons graduated, or he would been there also. I never fished that tourney because it was too spread out, time wise and area. They have little or no control over the tournament. One other thing I didn't like is the culling of fish. People would drag fish on a stringer then cull them for a larger fish. I seen tournament fishermen that were short a fish pick up the culls. These tactics turned me off.

schultzs Posted April 28, 2008 Author Share Posted April 28, 2008 I never fish the tournament. Just fish for fun and food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
