If you don't like to sleep the fishing is great! What do I mean by that? Well it's like this. Quite a few years ago an invasive species of clam called a Zebra Mussel showed up in the Great Lakes. They are filter feeders which means they filter the water which makes it clearer. (I'm making it a lot simpler than it is)

Now back to the fishing. The clearer water makes it easier for the fish to see the lures. It also makes it easier to see the downrigger balls, boats, props etc. The fish aren't happy about this so they get a little spooky when the sun is up and the visability improves. That's why I suggested that you have to give up a little sleep for great fishing. We are now enjoying two great bites. The first one occurs very early. How early? Well we are now waking the roosters up in the morning. Some of the captains are leaving the docks as early as 3AM.

The second great bite occurs around dark with some captains starting their charters at 6 PM and staying out until midnight! Do we catch fish during the day? Of course but if your planning a trip don't forget the two prime times.

See ya on the water.
