Michigan Fishing Report

Trip on western basin Lake Erie with repeat customers and friends Ken Lambeth and Greg! Plan was to rip spoons off dipsy divers behind Off Shore Tackle Company boards. Hit our first pass deep into Ohio waters on some nice marks. Our catch rate compared to marks was off and a ton of boats piled in. Picked up and ran 6 miles north. Airmar transducer was lighting up good with marks and barely any boats within miles. #1 off shore tadpoles 45-90 back with harnesses was able to pile the fish on the boat. 32fow speed 1.4 worked best. 

Lake Erie Metropark Harbor of Refuge - Wayne, MI

Quick after work trip on the Detroit! Prospected a few spots and on the third spot we had good marks on the side scan. 3 passes and made quick work of a 4 person limit. I’m liking the new lamiglas  detroiter rods paired with FatBoy Jigs LLC . Dark plastics on the flats next to the channel did best for us.
