ice is about 8" south of shell station in Gladstone. Fished 4 times and only had one fish on a tip up which I lost. Very slow but nice to be out on the ice.

The weather made this years tournament very interesting. High Seas, Heavy Rain, Lighting and Thunder kept everyone on their toes. A lot of sore muscles after this event. Some real nice fish were...

what time is the captains meeting, 7 pm at the boat launch?

Fished Ford River Can again Sunday, made my way to Minneapolis Shoals area but nothing. We had one rod pop but who knows. Marked schools of bait fish and some bigger fish but no action. Changed up...

Hi Esky,

The other launch is Dick Rangetts. Also 10.00 to launch and a couple price options for ice. Fishing is close, 3-5 miles to Big Summer or Point De Tour. Fish East side of the Islands,...

Went out the morning of July 4th and landed one salmon about 19#. Fish was caught off the downrigger about 65 feet deep in 120 feet of water off Big Summer Island on blue/green dolphin.

I took the boat out by the Ford River Can last weekend and fished for a couple hours with no action. Marked a few fish but the wind and waves made it difficult. Historically I waited until July 4th...

Met a friend and his son at the dock in Manistique at 6 pm. Motored out but had to cut the waves to the SE to get out to deeper water. Very high seas with massive swells. Started fishing at 120 FOW...

What depth were most fish caught? bottom or suspended or all over the place? Thank you for the report Frank.

Made a trip out to the can Saturday morning. Fished for 3 hours with out a bite. Marked some fish on the drop off about 20-30 feet down but nothing deep. Trolled across to the bay to the light house...

Bananas are also banned from my boat. A couple of years ago fishing the Manistique Tournament we started the day fishing and went biteless for several hours. While searching around the boat I came...

Nice catch. Looks like you had a great day on the water. I enjoyed the photographs. Looks like the forrage base is on the come back compared to years past.

I haven't landed a 25+ lbs king in a few years. I am geeked to hear about the abundant of bait fish. The biggest fish hitting the deck was a 35 lbs, 43 inch fish I picked up out of Petoskey back in...

I e-mailed you the photo's you requested. I am not sure if you received them. I had to add .com to the address you gave me to get it to go. Give me a call if you did not receive them. I tried to post...

I have a 1988 21 foot Thompson 210 fisherman with a hard top with a 3.7 I/O. I use it for both Salmon and Walleye. I have owned it since 1995 and would consider selling it. It has all the bells and...

good question.

I have a 21' Thompson with a heat exchanger on the inboard motor. I am able to fish late in the year as long as I pull the plug on the fresh water port of the heat exchanger when I am finished...

I talked to Ranger at Garden Sport Shop and he reported some salmon showing up in the nets.
