I just wanna catch a salmon bud. Salmon and a Grayling i think are the only two fish in Michigan I've never caught. oh yeah and a flat head. best chance for a flathead would be to head to that logjam at mt morris rd bridge where you were eye fishing earlier in the year oj....... use a bluegill or a big golden shiner bout 5 or 6 inches......

I've never heard of a flat being pulled out of the Flint, have you? Think I may try the Grand a few times this summer and try and get one.

otter lake campground farrand rd east of 15 in the south side of the road......... there is the main lake and then in the southeast side of the lake there is a small channel that leads to a whole other lake back there...... real good fishing in the back lake there is only one house on it and there is no public access accept for the campground.... but for i think like 20 bucks a night you can primitive camp if you have your own boat.... no gas motors either..... check it out

I'm gonna make it a point to catch one this summer. Definitely head over this way then. There are some monsters in the Grand. Bring your salmon gear, you're gonna need it.

I'd call it quite a success if only fishing an hour especially in those conditions. Great job

yeah buddy...They are in THICK
The guys that went in the morning limited out fast....And had a more comfortable trip...I as usual wasted the morning and went out in the afternoon....After the wind started blowing 20-25mph outta the NW...Those waves pick up in a hurry out there!
