Super User Boomstick Posted January 25, 2020 Super User Posted January 25, 2020 Last year I believe half of one of our local lakes thawed out before my oldest's birthday, 4/14. I forget the exact date. Unfortunately it's the shallow half and the majority of the fish were still deep, but we still tried anyway. Â I would be happy for the same thing this year, as long as the rest of the year isn't so tough to catch them 1 Quote

The long range forecast looks promising for keeping ice on the lakes to a minimum. I’m liking this, I hope it continues this past. 1 Quote

Dude, how can it be that much longer than either @A-Jayor myself as you're south of both of us. Unless your legal season starts later. Â 78 Days and counting. Quote

So from open-water until then, target crappie and test/tweak the canoe mods. Quote

Crappie would be a good species to target, we've accidentally caught them on 2.8s on jighead. 1 Quote
Global Moderator 12poundbass Posted January 27, 2020 Global Moderator Posted January 27, 2020 Thankfully they changed our bass season to catch and release all year long. This was a few years ago they changed it, until then catch and release was I believe the third Saturday in April and catch and keep (which I don’t do) is the third Saturday in May. 2 Quote

LMB closes 23 Feb, opens for C&R on 10 May, opens for keepers 24 May. SMB closed for keepers on 8 Sept, open for C&R until 23 Feb, opens again same as LMB. Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted January 27, 2020 Author Super User Posted January 27, 2020 The MI walleye opener is still well after usual open water.  Still, I will always catch (and immediately release) more and bigger walleye as by-catch fishing for smb during those 3 weeks or so, than the rest of the entire season combined. And these fish are always in super shallow. A-Jay    2 Quote

A-Jay Can't even target Walleye or Pike until 10 May once the season closes on 23 Feb...yep, everything except panfish closes then and doesn't open until Mother's Day Weekend. Quote

Might have gone 5lb and some change I'd guess ? PB came from Lake Eire and was also by catch interestingly enough. 9 lbs A-Jay  1 Quote
Vilas15 Posted January 27, 2020 Posted January 27, 2020 This weekend the lakes had1.5' of snow on top of 6" of slush on top of 1' of ice. Lets just say the tipups werent set too far from the boat launch since travel was difficult. 1 Quote

This pattern would mean cold and snowy conditions for Northern Michigan."  Is there another Michigan some where - One we're not aware of ? A-Jay  1 Quote
