Just moved to gun lake area going to be going fishing in the lakes in Yankee springs/Barry state game area tomorrow and Saturday. Not looking for anyone’s secret lakes/spots and if you do want to give me a good lake please PM me instead of posting on the forum. I’m more wondering what to use...

This is just an old picture of me and what I thought to be a prettier than normal pike that I caught years ago. Caught it on Holloway Reservoir in late fall on a 3/8 oz jig and twister tail that I was casting from shore. Caught a few walleyes first, before this fish latched on to my line.

Help me out fellers: I got a few days to go fishing with my buddy later June/early July of next year. We just want to catch as many pike as possible. We have kayaks, no motor boat. Where is the best spot within 6ish hours of Detroit? Eagle lake ON? Chain lakes, WI? Houghton? Thanks guys for...

My buddy and I have been scouring the internet and maps to find new places to fish. We have found a couple of dams that are about an hour or so away at least. Also have found one that is really close. Other than that we have found nothing else. We don't want to drive over an hour for a damn and...

my wife and i our taking our kayaks for a day trip to gaylord and was wondering what little lakes up there are decent for pike, bass and bluegill that are kayak friendly? i have a feeling trout fishing is out of the question while fishing from a kayak

Hello, I live on a deep clear lake and I want to start trolling for walleye, pike, and trout. I have a pontoon. Any suggestions on rods? Do I need special line or reels? I'm going to use deep diving Crankbaits. Should I use an outrigger? Looking for specific brands/selections. Thank you.

I’m wondering if anyone has ideas of where Northern Pike are being caught in the Cedarville Hessel area?

What you see is exactly what you get for twenty bucks cash. That's if you come to pick them up near my home. If you want them mailed to you, it will cost you an extra $5.95 to have the box sent to your address via USPS First Class Mail. And you will have to pay me through PayPal first. Send...

Good morning gentlemen - I'm going for a float on the Huron River tomorrow at Island Lake. Would I be wasting my time if I tried fishing for some smallmouth or pike while on the river? Are they biting at all right now? If yes, any tips on lures / baits / presentation? I have a little bit of...

Anyone have experience with this stuff? Is it any good? Got some 80lb for musky fishing but just purchased a spool of 30lb for a heavy bass/pike rod and was testing the strength with a fish scale I got, it keeps breaking between 22-28lbs. Making me second guess if I should use it or not. Would...

How's the pike fishing below Mio Dam? I normally fish for pike below another dam on a different river system in the fall but the water level is too low, so I am looking for new spots. I recently tried fishing below Mio dam and Alcona dam, but didn't get a single bite. At my normal spot I fish...

Heading up to the Soo next couple weekends going for pinks which I have figured out and Smallmouth which I do not. Looking to be steered in the right direction for smallmouth or what type of water, structure, depth, etc I should be fishing? Also not opposed to a guide if anyone has a...

I'll be on Drummond Island for a while late Sept/early Oct. Pike are the main target. I will have an 18 foot boat that can handle some waves as well as float tubes if we hit any bays. Looking for cabbage and drop offs I guess. Can anyone share some of your best secrets about where and how...

Good pike action trolling Lake St. Clair yesterday, which was actually Sunday. Days have been all mixed up lately. Launched at Harley Ensign. Got about 8 or 9 (lost count), mostly around 30 inches, a fat 32 incher the biggest. Running high was the ticket, more so than speed, though most...

With Crocker being still not open I'm wondering where would be best to go on the W side of the lake (not too far a drive from the western 'burbs) for some C+R pike fishing, maybe with some bass and 'eyes in the mix near other DNR launch sites that are currently open. I was told there were some...

Got out just before dusk on Friday night at Wyandotte. Started trolling and the action came fast, with lots of walleye action straight away. They really liked a diving shad bait, but I also got strikes on a deep tail dancer and larger shallow-running shad bait. Nothing big, fish running from...

I've had the best walleye action ever this year, but only 2 pike so far, one of which just over a week ago may have still had eggs. Which was not so surprising, given the water temperature in the low 40s then. Usually I get more toothy critters trolling. Wonder what's up with that? But I...

Wrong forum, I apologize. The site navigation threw me. But I'm unable to figure out how to delete it, and re-posted it in the Lake St. Clair forum. Looks like we have some reasonably nice days with moderate (about 10mph) east winds coming, which would make the W side of the lake brutal...

Simply wondering. Whether by accident or intent, especially near W side DNR launch sites that are open, namely Brandenburg and points south, as I'm coming from the western 'burbs. Just asking for general areas, though I'm a C+R pike angler who mashes down the barbs in the hooks, so no worries...

Every year at this time is struggle to find the pike. Weeds aren’t up yet, and the back bays are a ghost town. Went into Big Muscamoot Bay, and found about 8-10 other boats. I worked the emerging weeds for two hours w/ only one hook up, which I ended up losing. I tossed Mepps and pulled them...
