The cold weather has slowed the bite and fishing pressure so hoping for warm weather to start turning on the fish.
Charlevoix: The docks are in at the public launch near Ferry Beach however there were no docks at the Township launch by the salmon weir. The fish cleaning station at the Ferry Beach launch is open. Strong winds have kept boat anglers off the big lake. Water temperature in the channel was 39 degrees. Some are starting to head out for walleye after dark when the wind dies down. Pier anglers reported slow catch rates. One lake trout weas caught off the end of the pier in the early morning.
Lake Charlevoix: Anglers were getting some Cisco.
Houghton Lake: It has been too windy to get out on the lake. Those fishing the canals caught a few small crappie and those over at the Reedsburg Dam have caught bass and pike. A few crappie showing up in the canals again.
Grand Traverse County: The trout and walleye opener were off to a slow start. Only a few trout were observed being caught on some small streams.

When this happens, it’s usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it’s been deleted.Hard to see. Walleye?

Didn’t the Dow chemical plant just overflow again into that river…. weren’t there signs that said you aren’t even allowed to touch the plants on shore?
👍 Nice fish but to me not a wall hanger. Lol But to each there own.

The scientists estimate that the fish hatched in the Detroit River sometime in the 1920s, when Detroit was the fourth largest city in America.OMG! My son was the CO of USCGC Sturgeon. That fish is almost as large as their cutter!
I got news for you, that is a man, not a fish. You can tell by the red trim on the jacket.

Amazing!
Fishing has been slow as have not heard of any glowing reports. Cooler weather coupled with rain and even snow in some areas of the state continue to slow catch rates. The walleye, pike and trout openers last weekend got off to a slow start as well. Catch rates will improve once the weather stabilizes.
Some reports of walleye on many lakes but warmer weather will help.
Trout opener was ok as rivers were not high as they are on most openers.
Lakes Cadillac and Mitchell: Both lakes produced some walleye on opening weekend.
Perch bite has ended at Manistee with some crappie being caught.
Houghton Lake: Catch rates were still on the slow side as water temperatures remain on the cool side. No big crappie to report yet. A few walleye were caught late at night.
Traverse City: Surface water temperature was around 38 degrees on both bays. In the East Bay, the trout and whitefish action were slow with only a couple whitefish taken. Bass are in the shallows but not ready to bite. A couple steelhead were caught in the Elk River when drifting spawn. On the West Bay, perch were still being caught out of Northport. A few trout were caught near Power Island. Bass are in the shallows, but the bite was very slow. Steelhead action on the Boardman River was slow.
Tittabawassee River: Catch rates for walleye were down. Anglers reported water levels that were down at least 2 feet from years past. Those fishing from the Caldwell launch downstream struggled with the low water, logs and other obstructions. Some smaller males were caught from the south end of Freeland to M-46 when using a jig and twister tail tipped with live minnows or crawlers. Purple and white were good colors. A few fish were also taken by those trolling green and white flicker shads.
Nice picture
