    Lake Michigan Merc!

    Big North wind driving a longshore rip today...I got into some targets with the Pro...the 34 merc and a few wheats got spit up right on the black sand slope!

    Lake Michigan Ice Out!:clapping:

    Hit a Lake Michigan beach this morning...you recognize the place, I've been here a lot and am trying to figure out its secrets...I learned the ice floes and prevailing wind and currents classified a lot of finds on the downstream side of the main swim area...so there were plenty of targets to...

    Nice and warm today...wadered up and hit a place I know very well...spent 2hrs dinking along where the beach used to be and where the icefloes sort of stacked and classified finds @20 yards offshore...
