How it can be in the 80’s in April and in the 50’s and 60’s in late May we will never understand. The wind has blown all week long and really chopped up the lake. We did get our trips in today and the fishing was ok. Between our two boats, we covered all the water between the Salmon River and the high rocks just East of Nine Mile Point. If any of you don’t know where these areas are… that is a lot of water. About 8 miles worth of shoreline. We found our best action to be between the State Park and Sage Creek. The water temp is 50 - 52 degrees and has good color. Smithwicks off the boards and Michigan Stingers as well as needlefish on the riggers worked well. The wind is supposed to back off tonight for the weekend. That will be a nice change.
