We left the Gladstone Yacht Harbor around 6:30 a.m., had the lines in by 6:45 and had our 15 fish limit by 9 a.m. It was a fast and furious morning trolling Walleyes Choice (http://www.walleye...

Today I had Larry and his 8 yr. old grandson Grant on board for a 5 hr. excursion. We started out casting jigs/crawlers in the weeds, and on Larry's second cast he caught a fish, so it didn't take us long to find them. Let me tell you, Grant is going to be one good fisherman, this kid started pulling in walley...

Gotta make this a quick report, need some shut-eye before tomorrow morning. We couldn't get out this morning because of the storms and strong winds, so we made today's trip an afternoon adventure. We still had a little bit more wind than I'd have liked, but we didn't mind because the fish were biting gr...

Today I had Warren, Iyan (sorry if I mis-spelled it), and young Andy on board. It was a very chilly and windy morning on the bay. We started out drifting a weedline where I figured yesterday's wind might have a bunch of fish piled up...I was wrong! We caught some undersized fish, but no keepers, so it was o...

Today's 1/2 day trip was with a couple of great guys from the Iron Mt. area. Bob and his buddy came over last night so we could get a nice early start on the water. We left the Gladstone harbor shortly after 6 a.m. and headed for the weeds to pitch some jigs. Unfortunately the back side of the cold front was ju...

My brother Kenneth and I got out for awhile this evening and found a pretty good bite over all. We found water temperatures from 67-70 degrees. Kenneth went up on me 2 zip fairly quickly. But then I got in gear and we were soon tied at 2 keepers each. Then a short while later I moved ahead by catching the two b...

I fished with a couple of great guys the last two days, Mike and Ken from the Chicago area. Unfortunately, they got to see just what a cold front and strong west winds do to the fishing out here. Yesterday was the first day after the front and we started out pitching jigs again, but I could tell right away th...

My wife and I went out for about 3 1/2 hours yesterday and cast spinnerbaits for pike the whole time. It looked like it was going to be perfect conditions with dark overcast skies and a nice chop. But nooooooo... About a half hour after getting on the water, the clouds thinned out and for the most part, we h...

My wife and I went out with my brother Kenneth yesterday evening. We left the Gladstone Harbor a little after 4:30 and was back here at the resort by 9:00. We had a great time even though Kenneth kicked our butts! I think he had 3 keepers before either Theresa or I landed our 1st fish. He went on to catch his l...

Today I had the pleasure of fishing with John, Eric and Dillon. We started our half-day trip around 5:45 this morning and headed out to do some jigging. Again, we were pitching 1/4 oz. chartreuse jigs tipped with just a 2 inch piece of night crawler. With the water temperature around 75 degrees again th...

Day two with the Gibson family saw us going for big fish on big water. We were trolling Walleyes Choice (http://www.walleyeschoice.com) harnesses using both bottom bouncers and in-line weights. We didn't get lots of action today, but that's the way it can be when you fish for the big ones. We only had...

Well...we finally have some summertime weather and it seems to have turned the fish on a little. We are starting to have a bite that's more typical of Little Bay de Noc this time of year.

Got a chance to take a couple of friends fishing this morning. We only fished until a little after 10 a.m., but the fishing was pretty decent. We were pitching 1/4 oz. jigs tipped with crawler halves in shallow weeds where yesterday's wind had some dirty water pushed up tight to the weeds. In our three ho...

Just when you think you have a gameplan, the fish have other ideas. Today's half-day trip was with Ken, Ben and Janie from the Marquette area. We started out pitching jigs / crawlers where I picked up a nice limit of fish Wed. afternoon. I didn't even have my line wet when Ben had a nice fish on. Unfortunat...

Well...the wife got home from work this afternoon and I was ready to hit the water. This nice weather (and a day off) gave me a great opportunity to do some scouting.

Today's 1/2 day trip had to be the ugliest day Kenneth has spent on the water in a long, long time. Boat control was a disaster with strong northeast winds, and the cold rain didn't feel too good dripping down the guys backs either. They left the Gladstone Yacht Harbor shortly after 6:30 a.m. and hea...
