Cringe...

I have a Curado 201B for sale if you are interested. Its a year and a half old and I only used it for a half a season so its just about brand new. I liked the reel alot for throwing cranks and spinners but I used it more for bass and pike and not for muskie and I rarely use those types of baits for ...

Was not my year at all for muskie as I am still learning alot but I did get a big 23" smallmouth while I was just messin around with family which is a personal best of that species and an extremely overweight pike that was only 34 inches but weighed 9 pounds... I spent more hours on the water this y...

Yes, all of them have been stocked at about the same rate for the past 10 years or so. I have a buddy with a shack on Secord that says there are some huge largemouth there but he has never targeted muskie. The only time I was there we were bass fishing and I had a real heavy pickup on a plastic that...

Im going to try fishing 2 of the lakes in this area this weekend and was wondering if anyone had any advice on which ones would be my best bet to see some fish. Right now I am thinking Secord and Smallwood since my boat is just a little row boat with a 6 horse on it and these seem like small narrow ...

Did you end up making this trip back to Craig? If so, howd you guys do? Is the water level back down to normal?

Got this one on top water which usually works well in the stained water...if its slow on top water use something bigger that suspends with a slow retrieve that you can pause and twitch/jerk. Thats what Iv had the most luck with for big pike. Good luck, it really is an amazing place, my favorite plac...

I think its like 6 miles back to the parking spot on a two-track with lots of big rocks so make sure your car the clearance to get back there but once you get to the parking area its only about an 1/8 of a mile to the water to carry your canoe and gear. If your alone bring a canoe dolly, it helps ou...

Mostly upper 20s to 36 range with the occasional 40, havent fished Michigamme in awhile tho. I hear it has quite a few natural hybrids in it too since up there the spawn crosses more often. The Peshekee River actually connects to Craig Lake which is a state park that does not allow motorized boats a...

If you have a decent sized boat, Lake Michigamme is close by, only about 30 minutes west of Marquette. I have done well there for big pike and have seen several muskies taken there. Its a big pretty big lake with lots of bays and islands. Target these islands and bays as well as the rivers going in ...

Weather in GR this weekend is suppose to get pretty cold. Overnight lows may get below 50 degrees. This just might be what we needed to get the water temps around here down to fishable levels. Ill be fishin Torch Lake area this weekend, with these temps and 25 mph winds I might need to bring my Nove...
