gmfishon Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 All states need to get their head out of their ass. Fisherman lakeside are reporting good numbers of bait and large healthy Coho and kings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FBD Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 And the fishing on Huron was just fine until the bottom fell out. Better be safe than blow it. We would not be in this situation if the DNR hadn't bowed to pressure a few years ago, and reduced the cuts more like they had proposed. I caught my first king in 1979 on my grandpa's boat. I want my grand kids to be able to catch kings in 15-20 years. Do you see that happening on Huron? Why would we want to risk that here? I'm willing to have a few lean years as an investment for the long haul. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FBD Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 There was plenty of bait and big fish in 2013 in West Michigan but then after two cold winters 2014 and 2015 sucked. Indiana will be increasing summerr run steel plants to compensate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
