Michigan Muskie Alliance

Glad you guys are safe. Please let us know how we might help. I have a couple nice Brooks Brothers suits I won't be needing anymore, what's yer size?

I begin fishing as soon as the season opens and yes the fish can be so shallow they are barley under water a coule feet from shore. I target the warmest water i can find, creek mouths and shallow springs are golden spots on spots. I usually throw jig/creatures right on the shore edge and drag them i...

All the opinions are interesting. I have a strong opinion on this topic because of one of my misadventures.....
