Crankworms Michigan Fishing Adventures

[Crankworm]

I thought I would start a thread of my fishing adventures that I could just update instead of starting a new one every time I want brag :wink: . I will start this out by posting a couple of pics of the most recent trip. The Chick and I got a little burned out on salmon fishing this summer so we decided to do some perch fishing in lake erie. We launched out of Bolles Harbor near Monroe Mi on 10/8 and 10/11. did pretty good, here are a few pics.The fillet knife is 12" long from handle to tip just to give some reference.

Nice pile of yellow neds there - how do they taste?

How are you catching those - deep water?

Ahab, we are limited to how far out we can go because we don't have Ohio licences. Being so late in the year I don't feel like paying $40 each. We fished between 15 and 25 feet of water with minnows on speader rigs. It was a little weird fishing near the Fermi nuclear plant. I was expecting to hook into a 3 eyed fish like on Simpsons.

Since we catch most of the perch here is less then 10 feet of water that is DEEP!

How do the nuclear fish taste?

 

[Crankworm]

Is that 10 feet max in lake erie or inland lakes? We fish for perch on a couple smaller lakes near my parents cabin usually in 6-12' of water. Nuclear fish seem to be just as tasty fryed!

This update isn't Michigan fishing but it is an update, I went down to Florida to visit my brother for a few days, wow was the weather nice. We rented a small boat out of New Port Richie and did some fishing, I'm 32 and this was my first fishing trip in saltwater. We fished mostly in a big bay of grass flats it was low tide and the water wasn't deeper then a foot in the whole bay. It was very awesome to see fish swimming and jumping everywhere I looked! We caught a few little fish we threw back, then I hooked into a 26" red I can't believe how hard that thing fought.

That's why I live in Florida. Come down for Tarpon season if you want a fight, you'll be doing it for an hour.

Nice Red!!! Pound for pound it's hard to beat the fight of a Redfish. Your hooked now!!!! We boated over 30 of them this past Saturday. Needless to say, we were all whipped.
