Second best bet is the Foote Dam or the Pier. I think everyone should fish there all the time!!! It is the place to be!! that is were I would fish if I were you Stelmon!!!

I don't know many people that will truthfully answer that . River space is limited these days.
I pretty much grew up on the Main Stream.
Out,

You should have added one more, "none of the above".
By now I think most of the guys know where my favorites are. I know shoeman does anyways!
Oh and by the way, to anyone using the launch at river road, its in bad shape! Theres a big hole right were your tires set. Got my truck stuck there mon Its alot better now since I dug most of the snow away but I don't think I'd recamend using it, unless you bring some gravel to fill it in.

I like to fish between Grayling and Oscoda

Depends on time of year, whats biting, and what I'm using...

I guess I'm going to agree with Ladykiller! The Shoe rules(Betcha can't figure out where that is!) I would say that my favorite spot is between the Dam and the Pier for Steelhead. There is a particular hole that I like the best in that area, Look through my picture page and maybe you can figure out where it is(I think Erik or Shoeman might know where it is)
Stelmon the question you should have asked is where is your least favorite spot! In that case I would say the High Banks is the worst . I've only fished at the Dam a couple of times so I wouldn't consider it one of my spots!

What do you use to catch burbots? Just curious, I wont be invading your honey hole I promise! I'm a chiken ***** when it comes to the north peir. I let my friend talk me into going out there once. It was really windy that day/eve, and after getting out there I didn't want to come back. the waves were crashing over the wall and all I could think about the whole time we fished was, we have to walk that wall to get back to shore. I have alot of respect for the water, I really would rather die some other way than drowning! Know what I mean?

Usually dead smelt on the bottom when I'm purposely fishing for them. Also caught them on Crankbaits and spoons before. Even waxworms meant for Whitefish!!! Sideshow- We'll be out there after the ice is out on the bay. Right now too busy/addicted to those hawg 'eyes...
