George Lofquist stopped by the shop Thursday with this jumbo perch. 14 1/4 inches, 1 3/4 pounds! He caught it "somewhere off the Yellow Gate." Nice fish, George!

February 3rd 2010...Skunked
(Preview)
My brother Kenneth and I got out for the last couple hours today and got skunked. I should say got skunked on keepers that is. Kenneth was fishing deeper than I was (42 feet) and never marked squat tonight. I on the other hand marked loads of fish in 35 feet of water, but the vast majority were just din...

Feb 1st and 2nd...
(Preview)
Yesterday, I caught a couple throwbacks and then a just legal (15 1/4") walleye right at the end of "primetime". I released it because I didn't want to clean just one fish. Of course a 16 incher then hit about 5 minutes later! This one I kept thinking maybe the bite was going to be late. WRONG, that was it...

Jaunary 23rd Report...
(Preview)
The same guys (Brian, John, Matt, and Mark) have seen the bite drop off quite a bit on Big Bay the past couple days. They have still caught some nice fish, but not like they were. Another mounter was caught though by John Holloway that was just over 9 lbs. They had a couple other friends show up Thursday...

January 27th late report...
(Preview)
Not much to report really. My brother Kenneth and I snuck out for the last couple hours yesterday and it was the worst evening we have had this season. Even though it was probably the most fish I have marked this season, they were all dinks! Ditto for my brother. Did someone say cold? Holy crap was it c...

ice condition ?
(Preview)
I'v heard reports of the wind over the weekend doing some damage going to the ice (vehicles going down) as far up as kipling. Is there any truth to this? Also heard there was more coal ships coming in?

January 16th, 2010...Perch, couple pike, and huge walleye!!!
(Preview)
Well, my wife and I thought we were kicking big walleye butt with her catching a 28 inch walleye Wednesday and myself a 29 incher Thursday. But then longtime guest (now good friend) Brian Frost came in the store and "let the air out of our sail". He and his friends didn't catch any numbers today, but they...

Almost a limit
(Preview)
Been hearing better reports from guys fishing off the breaks, ( I normally like to set up at the base of a breakline.) Tried tonight about 50 yards off a break, in about 35 FOW. Actually had a pretty decent trip. It was a refreshing change of pace to have the majority of fish that came through actually bite...

It's not a fishing report, but most folks are looking at the fishing reports and I think this is pretty important stuff. First the netters, then we lose the slot limit (thanks to one guy), now it looks like the darn carp are already in Lake Michigan! http://www.chicagobreakingnews.com/2010/01/s...

You will not find nicer guys than these four fishin' fools. Yes, I'm talking about Brian, John, Mark, and Matt..............again. I'm really happy they are having such a good trip so far. They actually built our fish cleaning shack for us several years ago while up here fishing. That's the kind of f...

I'm a day late with this report because I was "in the main office" when they got back from fishing last night and did not see them. But I got the details and the pictures they took out on the ice! Brian, John, Matt, and Mark had another good day yesterday. They ended up with a 26 1/2 inch 6 lb. walleye, two 28 1...

It looks like an ice-fisherman has drown on Saginaw Bay http://www.connectmidmichigan.com/news/story.aspx?id=402630 and possibly another (from another post I read), but they aren't sure at this time. Just be careful folks. We have high winds today and that pressure crack you crossed with e...

(Preview)
Kenneth and I tried the morning bite again yesterday and it was even slower than Saturday was (at least for us). To be fair, we have been trying a different spot just about every time out with the intention of finding more good spots for our guests. That said, I think I'm going to have to hit a "go-to" spo...

My brother Kenneth and I tried the morning bite today and had our lines in the water by 7:00 am. Kenneth was marking fish right away but could not get them to bite. I didn't mark much of anything until 8:00 or so. Then about 8:15 I caught a nice 18 1/2 inch eater on a size 8 Gold/Orange Tiger Holographic Ice...

My brother Kenneth and I had the lines in the water by 4:00 this afternoon (late start). After only about 10 minutes or so, I hooked into a good fish. It turned out to be nice northern just shy of 36 inches. Sure was fun on a jig pole though!!! It was such a pretty fish, I just had to release her. Several years a...
