In ohio we always waded streams like rocky fork,etc...throwin minnow baits jan thru march...

Did Murray ever open back up??? Just returned from Gaylord area and all waters we saw from Cadillac north were iced over. Shanties galore. Even though muskies are closed now i still want to break in the motor and run the sonar and gpson Murray. City of Muskegon is charging $55 annually for the use of its' four launches on Muskegon Lake's south shore. Muskegon Heights asks $60 for a non resident for Mona Lake's launch. Who maintains Murrays launches and why don't charge? I don't think I can wait til end of April. :?

Murray is open all the way around. Launch is maintained by DNR at no charge. Ramp on the west arm isn't in as of Tuesday.

All I want to do is take the boat out for a spin. Tuesday looks sunny. Fishing rods will stay home. Hope the ice stays away for good.

Anyone know if the West River Drive exit from 131 is still being worked on?

Its open...
