    The Great Lakes Fishery Commission (among other agencies) just announced Lake Superior is fully rehabilitated with Lake Trout. This is a pre-cursor to allowing more gill nets, not only for the Soo Tribe, but also for State Licensed Commercial Netters (White Man gill nets as well).

    All of these Moonshine colors, but get them in the RV series. Add Happy Meal and Shelly Snack to the list.

    Glad to see you are out on the water again. Great report. I’m still in perch searching mode around Northport and the bays, but will eventually migrate out there for silver fish.

    New Public Released Court Order signed 02DEC2022 - When there is a new consent decree, (Thank God for the Soo Tribe holding up the signatures) these 4 new gill net expansions will be in effect and are guaranteed to destroy the trout, perch, bass, cisco and anything that swims fisheries. Bravo to the State of Michigan! 1. New Gill nets from Empire to Glen Arbor to Leland! This is new. Only “less lethal trap nets” were allowed until now. Manitou Islands and Platte Bay are still targets for the Tribes, but that hasn’t been clarified yet. Knowing how effective the state is a protecting the resource, these areas will be fair game as well. At any rate, good bye to zones 813 (Empire, Glen Arbor) and 814 (Leland) to all fish. These will be cleaned out in 90 days. 2. New Gill nets in West Bay from the Elmwood Marina to Suttons Bay up to Peshawbestown! 4500’ per day. That is almost a mile of new gill nets where once there was none in zone 815 (West Bay). New Gill nets in East Bay from the Center Road Launch up to the tip of the Old Mission Peninsula!4500’ of gill net per day will be allowed because “it is the fairest and most equitable management plan for the great lakes”. Hilarious and unbelievable. 3. New and Improved small mesh gill nets from Norwood to Lake Charlevoix, including Lake Charlevoix and the Round Lake Channel. These are to get all the perch and walleye, and will also take all of the bass, small lake trout and all of the cisco. The State of Michigan did not present any biological persuasion argument. 4. New-Use of Hook-and-Line Gear for Commercial Fishing is now approved in Grand Traverse Bay. Just in case a laker, bass, cisco, or any other fish managed to stay out of the new 2-miles of gill nets, Tribal Commercial fishermen can now use hook-and-line gear for recreation with no limits. You can thank The State of Michigan negotiating team for destroying the fishery in Lake Michigan: DNR Director Dan Eichinger (re-assigned to avoid the heat) DNR Fisheries Chief Jim Dexter (Retiring soon to avoid the heat) DNR/Tribal Unit Manager Dave Caroffino (promoted in August for great work) DNR Chief Law Enforcement (recently promoted as well) The next meeting to is 16 December.

    This is not new, and these “negotiations” are not going to go well for recreational or charter fishermen. The Coalition to Protect Michigan Resources (CPMR) is a gathering of fishing clubs and conservation organizations that pool our money together to pay lawyers to speak for 1 million fishing license purchasers…vs 40 tribal licenses. And the tribes will win with this woke BS we are Living through. Go to their website and paypal the CPMR what you want. But, when you don’t, don’t badmouth the guys that fight this decree every 20 years (yes, the same legal team from 1980, 2000, and now 2020). They have been frustrated, pissed off, and now worried they will become the scapegoat of “the reason there are nets at every tributary in the Great Lakes”, or “why are there nets covering Saginaw Bay?” Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Today, The NWMI Fishing Club put our salmon net-pens into the Boardman. We will be getting 75k Kings on Thursday afternoon (best guess on the timing right now). When I get an ETA on the truck, I’ll post it here. If you are interested, grab a kid and come out and watch. There are 3 footbridges close to the net-pens location at Cass and Grand Parkway (Traverse Connect Building), and pretty good parking availability as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Hello all, if you have fished for salmon in East or West Grand Traverse Bay and want to be able to claim you are a giver, not a taker, now is your time. The NWMI Fishing Club has used much of their membership fees, weekly Fishing contest revenue, and our donated money to repair and emplace the salmon pen nets and feeders for the Boardman River. We are looking to recover that money we have spent and you can help. This request applies to weekend anglers such as ourselves and Charter Boat Captains and fishermen statewide. We have DNR Coded Wire Tag data that proves a 3%-4% return of spawning salmon if they are acclimated with the river pen nets. It's only a 1% return rate just dumping them into the river. If you put that "return percentage" on the upcoming stocking of 75,000 salmon in May 2022 , we can expect 3,000 fish return with the use of pen nets versus 750 without in August/September 2025/26. Please go to the NWMI Fishing Club website homepage to the "PayPal Donate Button" and donate to our general fund and help us recoup some our expenses, and Thank you.

    Rockin Randy! That was me, the tall guy in the black shirt in the cleaning station with you. Good to put a face to a name. I’ll be out there tomorrow. I’ll report. Thanks for all the great reports this year. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I like both Randy. Glow up everything. I haven’t noticed a preference. If I get two hits on one presentation, I’ll change a few lines to that similar presentation. Moonshine Trolling Flies with the blade glow up great. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Last night on Lake Leelanau (12MAY2021), our weekly fishing league had its first event of the year. The weather was beautiful and the winds were low at less then 5mph. 16 anglers came out to participate for their luck at the largest walleye by weight and the largest pike. 3 anglers were able to catch walleyes with no pike brought in. Matt Tallman was able to take first place with a 1.43lb walleye with Les Dennis taking home second with a 1.10lb walleye. Due to no pike being weighed we were able to pay out two places. Zach Crawford was also able to bring a nice .99lb walleye. Several undersized walleyes were caught and many smallmouth bass and rocks bass too. Thanks for participating! Reminder, come join us next week, Wednesday May 19th at Long Lake, 19MAY2021, Crescent Shores launch, 6 lines in to 10 pm, lines out. Weigh your 1 biggest walleye, or 1 biggest "other species" could earn you some bragging rights and cash. $10 entry fee per angler, and at least 1 person on the boat needs to be a NWMI Fishing Club member. Registration starts at 515pm in the Crescent Shores Parking Lot. Membership packets will be available too if you need a member in your boat. Weigh in will start when all boats are accounted for (est 1030ish). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
