Bait-shops in Roscommon, Alger, and Ogemaw County
Roscommon County has the Largest inland lake in Michigan Houghton Lake. This lake is one of the best producers of panfish in the state of Michigan. It also has a good population of walleye and pike. Higgins Lake is the King for ice fishing when it freezes in the middle of January. The target fish are perch and smelt which they catch by the bucket on Hali’s. This lake has a huge population of lake, brown, and rainbow trout, it is the place to be in the late winter when the shallow lakes are not producing. Ogemaw County Main lakes are Peach, Sage, Clear, Lake George, Rifle, and Hardwood lake. Lots of fisherman head to Lake St. Helen which is just across the line in Roscommon as it produces lots of fish in the winter.

Elijah Matley and Nick Cummer did well today casting off of a Pier with slip bobbers and “blues” and did well, new leader on the big fish board, at Jack’s Sport Shop, Great job, men.
On a boat your always changing spots looking for fish or playing with your gear. On a pier your waiting for the fish to come to you and we always have 3 rods each in the water and a couple more xtra to put in as soon as we get a fish
Awesome Congratulations
Awesomeness! Great catch nice fish 🐟

I love pier fishing. Not wasting time or money on gas and you spend half the time driving around looking for fish. I have 100% faith in pier fishing but still use the boat. My best 25lb + brown from pier on Lake Ontario won new fully loaded boat and 9 grand. Have won so many tournaments this way. No lures or trolling. Live bait only

Beautiful fish !!!!!I hear everybody ask for the seeforellen browns… why can’t we get what we want
Glad they are stocking trout, but I wish they give up on the Wild Rose strain. Such poor returns. The Gilchrist Creek or Sturgeon River Browns offer so much better opportunities. Better yet, bring back those big-ass Seeforellen Browns. Those were Awesome!

Awesome!
Thanks

Ling cod, eelpout, lota, lawyer, mud shark — these are all wonderful names associated with the Ice Belt’s most misunderstood fish, the burbot.I understand them quite well 😌 especially in a frying pan ! Used to catch them on Tawas Bay ! Back in the 60's !
I'm intrigued but have never caught one. What lakes in the TC region are best to scout?
Poor Man's lobster !

4 women limit! 11lbs of fillets to take back to their families and enjoy. They caught atleast 300 bluegills and crappies today, and kept their limits of perfect eaters.
Last ice bite is starting to fire up!
Still have a few available dates the next couple weeks. 🎣🤙🏽

I was wondering if you'd like to donate some of your fish for research?
Like that,

Great Lakes Fisherman’s Digest Reports from Mullet Lake 3-15-23 Indian River/Cheboygan areas Multi species fishing was awesome on the south end of Mullett Lake for the last day of ice walleye season. I fished with my friend Andrew Hendrickson fromNorthstar Sportfishing guide service and also joined up with Cody Sems from Hardwater adrenaline later in the day. As you can see, we had an awesome time on the ice . We caught a nice variety of fish and some really good ones. Our primary method was fishing flats between 30 and 40 feet of water. We used tip ups with light line and very small treble hooks. The key was using bigger sized minnows to prevent all the small ones from driving you crazy. Banged a bonus walleye as well and as you can see a 55” monster sturgeon. Caught the sturgeon on a tip up with 8 pound test line and it took 25 minutes to get it in. Thanks to Andrew and Cody for a great last day of walleye season. If you’re looking to get out for late season perch fishing, Cody Sems will be doing perch trips until the ice is unsafe. You probably have a good week or so of fishing left. Perching on Maple Bay on Burt has also been productive
BEEN THERE' DONE THAT!
Nice fish 🐟
Nice catch
Jäkligt fina abborrar.

Sturgeons can’t be kept from mullet. You didn’t mention that you released that fish. Sure hope you did as a PROFESSIONAL CHARTER FISHERMAN
Good Day with a catch like that.I like LKe perch.
Mille Lacs Monster Pike ties STATE RECORD!Minnesota Department of Natural Resources certified a catch by angler Brad Lila on Mille Lacs Lake from January 22. He caught and released the pike after measuring it at 46 and ¼ inches. It tied a record set in just 2021 by Illinois fisherman Brecken Kobylecky on Basswood Lake.

Kudos on the release…much respect.
I'm surprised that's a state record in MN
👊👍😎🌴

Man it just doesn't seem like the year or the time of the year to be driving a truck on the ice.
It's a Dodge, should have left it for fish habitat. Lol
Minor water damage
I would like to see a video of this. Cool
a Dodge owner gonna Dodge owner
Motor appears to be flooded.
Look for this one on carfax in the near future..
If you can't dodge it…Ram it….
It'll buff right out
I'd buy it still
Eric Wing looks like that dodge we seen driving out there! 😂🙄
As Bill Engvall says here's your sign.
Send it to Florida. It will sell great as a northern truck with no rust.
Can find a decent undercarriage wash anymore…lol
That's one expensive tip up.
Stupid should have been fixed 🙄
Well that sucks
Just junk it. They rust out in 5 years so now this one will be rusted out by next year.😉
