Very good walleye fishing was reported in the Lower Trenton Channel. Try using jigs with minnows and stinger hooks. Some nice northern pike have been caught in some of the back bays off the river when casting crank baits.

Strong winds have made for rough fishing, so many are staying in the cuts and canals. Try fishing near the mouth of the Clinton River for yellow perch.

Good steelhead fishing continues between Flat Rock and Rockwood. Drifting spawn or flies in egg patterns have worked best.

Only a few boats are fishing for walleye, and most of the fish caught have been taken down near Turtle Island.

Thanks for the report. At least you got the skunk out of the box.

What year is it? Do you have a picture of the boat Eric?

Sounds like we will all be over to your house for the fish fry Nice job, and thanks for the report!

I am going to bump this one up a day early in hopes of more people joing in on the chat. 8pm EST

Look who passed through my back yard again last night.

I have only made it as far East as Lake Erie. You are allowed to fish in Canadian waters. However, you have to have a Canadian fishing license. Some of the tackle shops in the U.S. sell Canadian licenses. When fishing Canadian waters you have to follow Canadian fishing rules. Make sure you know them if you are planning on fishing Canadian waters. It is hard to tell where the dividing line between the U.S. and Canada is. It is an imaginary line, and the only real way to tell if you are in Canadian waters is by knowing the GPS cordinates of the line and having a GPS unit. The GPS cordinates can be found on a map. I am not familiar with the green buoy or the Niagra river. There are some great threads that cover techniques and varies baits that are working in Lake Michigan. These same techniques should work there. Alot of anglers are using inline planer boards to get the baits off to the side of the boat. Most of the fishing reports also have the baits that have been working in them. Let us know how your trip went, or if you have any more questions.

Thanks Capt. Mike for pointing out the issue to me. Sorry about the error on my part. When I created the new usergroup(Charter Captain), I over looked one of the permission settings for the home page and as a result, everyone that visited the home page first received an "you do not have permission" message. The issue is now resolved and I apologize for keeping everyone away. I was wondering why no one made an intro. Mike

Lots of new members lately. I am curious as to how everyone is finding the place.

What times dinner and beer? :D

Anyone know what the stats on who won the tourney?

I am thinking you may have talked with DIRTY DOG.

Steve, I hear they have been getting kings on rigger's within 5' of the bottom in 40 - 45 FOW.

He gets use of the Great Lakes Fisherman 46 Hatteras that is docked in Ludington Dont tell him its only 46"

That would be some of my creative advertising You are not the first to have found the site through the auction.

How did you find the site Ron?

Welcome to Great Lakes Fisherman. The coho fishing is in full swing, with some nice Kings being taken also. If you need anything, just let out a yell. Mike

I am going to scap the idea of a tourney this year. Maybe I will shoot for an outing instead.
