This doesn’t apply for Manistee Lake.

How much for semis?

No fish is that important to risk your safty.

Ain't no way in hell I'm taking my car on 8" of ice, unless it's ALL solid clear ice with zero cloud which is basically not possible with the weather we have in Michigan. I do love driving on the ice when it's 2' thick though, whipping endless shitskies

Torch lake has a great perch bite this year and it has been a long time coming. Take lots of minnows with you as you have to do lots of sorting but there are some nice perch being caught. Perch rigs and bigger blues will catch bigger perch and Atlantic salmon. Most are fishing off if deep water point right across from the Alden landing See MoreSee Less

Winds were somewhat down today and temperature was somewhat up. We hit Torch Lake after it warmed up a tad and went after perch. Found plenty of perch, with a couple of surprises. Become a member and head on over to our Members Only page for all the details See MoreSee Less

Nice buck

Awesome buck hope he passed on some genes

Good for you that’s a trophy

Nice Wall Hanger!! what a Horse!! 🤔👍

Beautiful deer-filled morning! Started with a group of spikes whom came busting through raking trees, sparing and scraping like they were the studs. Watched them work off up a hill and just out of sight, one blew 3 times. Figured the thermals shifted and I was busted. Five minutes later, this hog popped out 20yds down. I was so excited I couldn’t get my bow drawn. He circled back behind a huge oak and I was able to hammer her back to poke his off-switch 30yds out. Piled up 40yds from there. -Chelsea ZDate Taken: 10/21/2023Time Of Day: MorningMethod: Compound BowNumber of Points: 9County: Van Buren CountyProperty: PrivateDressed Weight: 192 See MoreSee Less
