Half of them should have gone back
I don’t know how this ended up on the bucks fishing report lol I shared it with a small group that fishes lake Leelanau. I’m sorry I hurt some peoples feelings by keeping some 8 inch perch.
I guess the perch are biting
You never throw a perch back!
Nice work!
Fish Fry on!! 😎👍

Greg Alsip reports from Lake Leelanau Bait and Tackle Perfect way to end the open water guiding season. Took one client out
1 1/2hrs was all it took to put a two man limit in the boat.
Now onto preparing for ice season!
Inquire about pricing and availability!
Were you jigging for them
Fish fry tonight
Over 460-pounds of salmon were donated to a local community following a poaching tip near Tippy Dam. Thanks to a local angler, officers discovered a group of out-of-state individuals had been illegally fishing and using unlawful methods to haul in over 50 fish. While an unfortunate situation, we’re grateful that the fish could be donated to local families in Manistee County.

So, Steve Brockman and Jordan Smith seem to have a problem with DNR officers doing their job. They would like to show their support for illegal fishing activities. Good to know!
Was always happy to spend a few minutes talking with the DNR almost always knew the guy and I always appreciate that they are out there protecting my hunting and fishing grounds. When you're legal and you know it clap your hands. hahaha. Good work men.
Steve Brockman. Whatever! I respect DNR officers, and most legal sportsmen that I know do as well. I see no reason to chastise them for maybe feeling proud of the job they do. Tips are an important part of the law enforcement process. Unless you were the poacher, you don’t know any more about this case than I do. Thank you for your concern about Michigan fish and game.
Good to see a report from Buc’s. Haven’t seen one in awhile. Glad to know you’re still there!
I don’t even salmon fish
Good job
They are just going to dye anyway
All reports on this site are dumb outdated basic crap!!
That not in ur neck of the wood John and Valerie Collins
Justin Wagoner what you think about this …..good they got caught if you ask me
Happens all the time at Indian Bridge in Custer by, let's just say, sum "illegal" people
couldn't of got the bust without the tip don't look so proud
Yum
Put the poacher cowards names here on the site so everyone can know who they are
As if the DNR owns the fish. They’d have all died regardless.
Steven Guibert reports Two days on south Leelanau. All cleaned and ready for the freezer. Hearing good reports from long lake, green Lake , Big Glen, Northport for perch. Big Glen has been real good but lots of sorting. Long Lake was real good yesterday as guys had to buy more minnows. Skegemog has also been fair. Great reports out of burt and mullet also for perch also.
