Might have room for the evening trip tomorrow. If so, you’d be welcome aboard.
Still haven’t put in my boat, told me they’d have it in by Wednesday, then they told me they’d have it in today, and they still haven’t put it in, super frustrating tbh
Hope you guys beat the hell out of em
I am sure you can get in with someone. The Michigan Charter Boat Association has a First Mate program. It is basically a drug test and some paperwork. You will be able to hit the docks and provide that to whoever you choose. This is absolutely not necessary though. If it were me, I would talk with some of the local full time Captains out of the port. There are not that many full time locals. Sport fish Michigan runs out of Frankfort quite a bit. Tiny Bubbles is probably the most popular/well known. Sara K is another one. Try calling and getting some advice from them. If they don't need you, they probably know someone that does. Good luck and keep us posted!
I remember in the late 80’s through the early 90’s seeing huge schools of Alewives in the Platte River. My family had a place on the lower river until 1999 (when the NPS broomed us out). There were giant black clouds of them moving up the river. They were big back then.
I’m hoping to go tonight. Hopefully wind and waves lay down a bit. If not, I’ll definitely be out in the morning.
You marking anything? Usually you can’t keep lakers off the line this time of year. Things seem quite unusual this year
I agree that the city needs to do something. They claim they are unaware of the issue. I was talking to 2 different officials at City Hall last week and neither seemed aware. These incidents must be reported to Frankfort PD for something to be done. Most of the time people think it’s too much of a hassle to do that. Good news is that the parking lot is getting striped.
2-5 tonight. Fished for just under 2 hours. Tons of bait and tons of fish marked. More fish marked than I have seen in years. The 2 caught were plants. Spoon bite for sure. All our fish in the tournament last weekend came on standard size spoons with the exception for 1 flasher/fly and 1 meat rig. There are a lot of fish around but they don’t have to move much to eat.
Yes. 0-1 slow so far. Had a fire drill at dark last night. Marking less fish this morning
DNR survey employee was at the cleaning station the other day and said they had a couple days where 30+ Cisco were counted.
Magnum Metalz
Nope. Not ratcheting. Cannon is probably the best bet for that. Big Jon makes one as well. Rodtrees.com usually has the cannon’s as well (might not be on website).
Just upgraded my riggers this year to Magnum Metalz. Great quality and performance thus far.
4-7
18, 19, 23 and 2 pound fish. Small one was a Coho. White paddles with green flies took everything mostly riggers. 75-95 down. Got out a bit late but hit the mid morning bite pretty good. 110-150 FOW
Gabe won’t be using that boat much if/when he passes🤣😉. Good luck to you Gabe. However, your fishing time will be set back quite a bit for quite a while. Take a rod wherever you go, and cast the rivers, streams, lakes. Enjoy!
