We get these questions a lot. How is fishing in Michigan right now? Where are the salmon running right now in Michigan? What is Michigan known for fishing? The fishing hotspots in Michigan can vary depending on the time of year and the type of fish you are targeting. Some popular fishing destinations in Michigan include Lake Michigan, Lake Huron, Lake Erie, and Lake St. Clair, as well as many rivers and streams throughout the state. The hardest fish to catch in Michigan is often considered to be the muskie, also known as the "fish of 10,000 casts." This elusive predator can be found in many of Michigan's lakes and rivers, but requires patience, skill, and specialized gear to catch.

 

One of the best fish to catch in Michigan is the walleye, which can be found in many of the state's lakes and rivers. Walleye are known for their tasty, flaky white flesh and can be caught using a variety of techniques, including trolling, jigging, and casting. Other popular fish in Michigan include smallmouth bass, trout, and salmon, which can be found in various bodies of water throughout the state. Fishing for these species can be challenging but rewarding, with many anglers traveling from all over the country to test their skills on Michigan's waters.

Lake Erie hogs!

Pics from 2 trips. Highlight was landon who just had his 12th birthday! I met him and his dad on my recent trip to milwaukee brown trout fishing. His mom and dad came out for a day of fishing on Lake Erie today. They battled through the heavier rain at our first spot. Made some moves, nicer weather and they stuck it out! They were all assisting and setting lines the entire trip! Landon was culling fish early for bigger ones before we had their keepers 😆. Landed 35-40 fish total. Bandits 35,45,65 back worked well as well as Bill Lewis Fishing PWC 30 back all behind Off Shore Tackle Company boards 1.8 ave speed. Fished multiple areas in OH waters around the cans around the Port Clinton area.

Detroit river beat down!

Fun couple trips on the Detroit this weekend! This am was repeat customer Brandon and he brought his brother Justin and father Mike. I’ve been checking a bunch of spots all along the river. Started with some crowds at a few spots mid river. Once they had a pile I veered into a few Canada spots in the mud and it was worth It! Lost a few really nice ones as well. FatBoy Jigs LLC on all rods with darker profile worms and split tails were the preferred colors.

Western Basin Lake Erie

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.

Detroit Fishing

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. Whether you're a seasoned angler or a beginner, a Detroit fishing charter is a great way to experience the thrill of walleye fishing on the Detroit River.
