There was a CO out there last night checking fish for scars and checking licenses just a FYI. I failed to mention that was in Muskegon at the Silversides.

It's been a slower start this year. Went out last weekend in the wind storm only to get skunked and to find my truck loaded with sand from natures sand blast.

Water temp is still a bit high. With the cold weather coming later this week hopefully it will get a push of fish going. I have always fished it thanksgiving weekend, but I will most likely be out there this coming weekend. I will report.

Whitefish have started moving in this week. My father in law said some of his buddies caught some earlier in the week. I will be out on the pier friday or saturday night, maybe both. I will report.

Caught 3 on saturday night near the silverside. Only fished about an hour and a half due to wind and cold. I stuck it out for awhile, but damn was it cold. Hooked a couple more but lost em.

Did really well on Friday night at Muskegon. Kept 3 legals, caught 15 snaggers and lost just as many at the wall since I was netting them solo. I will see if I can post some pics of the ones I kept.

I don't have a smoker or true pressure canner so for me its fresh only. When I fillet them I take out the pin bones so I get an upper fillet and main fillet. Normally I take the main fillets and lay them into a pyrex dish of onions, celery, seasoning and butter and bake for 25 minutes. The top strips I cut down to 3" lengths, batter and fry. Might have to get out and get some more while the getting is good!
