fish all over Orion, start catching decent size bluegills, then they all vanish and I get a big old bass staring at my wax worm, half the time they inhale it, other half the time, they scare away all the panfish. Although it is a riot fighting bass on a panfish rod with a size 12 hook.

We had a slow day , started about four miles northeast of selfridge , the first couple stops , just one or two , then we hit one spot with fish , I caught 65 , brought 25 home, none real big though , 10" . The other guys did better than me, Jim had 35 keepers , two or three 12" and Kyle had 45 or so with some good size ones .

If you want to make a drive. port Sanilac. the docks in the harbor had good fish over the weekend lots of jumbos A few buddy's of mine went this weekend both had 50 fish 10 -14 inches. To far for me but if you want fresh pearch and some fun it might be worth the drive.

 I have fished St Cair, at least two times a week .  All though it's from under the sheets of my nice warm bed. Dreaming of the hotsunny days of summer and all those smallies laying all over the deck of my boat. As I drink a beer and show miss september and miss may the art of landing a fish

Got skunked today !  My drill broke on the way out to the first hole, got stuck in reverse, heater ran out of fuel and I left my extra tank in the truck, and then no fish over 6" . Seen some toads, but they were cruising and didn't want my tube . Tried some Gulp maggots with out much luck . Maybe tomorrow!!!!!

Well the best bite has been around three o clock, but I'm game for whatever time you want to meet . Selfridge Sport & Tackle is on Jefferson one block north of the Selfridge launch . But I'm coming down I-75 to 59 and over to Jefferson, we can meet anywhere along there that you want. You want to fish in the morning we can plan on being on the lake at 8ish (?). I'm very flexable on the time so whatever fits your schedule
