Winds were somewhat down today and temperature was somewhat up. We hit Torch Lake after it warmed up a tad and went after perch. Found plenty of perch, with a couple of surprises. Become a member and head on over to our Members Only page for all the details

Nice buck
Awesome buck hope he passed on some genes
Good for you that’s a trophy
Nice Wall Hanger!! what a Horse!! 🤔👍
Beautiful deer-filled morning! Started with a group of spikes whom came busting through raking trees, sparing and scraping like they were the studs. Watched them work off up a hill and just out of sight, one blew 3 times. Figured the thermals shifted and I was busted. Five minutes later, this hog popped out 20yds down. I was so excited I couldn’t get my bow drawn. He circled back behind a huge oak and I was able to hammer her back to poke his off-switch 30yds out. Piled up 40yds from there. -Chelsea Z

Sweet… Now they need a few years 🎣🎣👍
How much did that cost?
Trying to get walleyes for Todd Lake in Osceola Co.
Should be planting millions everywhere in the state with the bumper crop we have in Saginaw and Detroit
That's way better than just 4 that were planted in a jackson co.lake
Does anybody know of a person who digs wigglers with a commercial license to sale in michigan. Thanks

Caleb Fisk
No
Doesn't pay enough these days, for all the trouble you have to go through
A guide told me that there was an old timer in Manistee that dug wiggies….locals knew him. I understand his son now digs. Thats all I can tell you.
Is it me or does it seem like there are no wigglers? Or no one to dig them and sell to retail stores?

If you had a place to DM I’d contact you with info. Not gonna post publicly.
Perch fishing in Northern Michigan is starting to get hot with the cooler weather and minnows starting to school.
Getting reports from Lake Leelanau, Glen Lake, long lake by traverse city, green Lake that perch are starting to school and fishing has been good. Portage Lake has been fair for perch.
Bowers Harbor is picking up with some nice perch being caught, some reports out of Northport but most are keeping quiet as they don’t want the landing shut down.
Walleye fishing has been good on Lake Leelanau and long lake.
Some huge smallmouth are coming out of east grand traverse bay, by Elk Rapids.
Minnows, wigglers, worms and perch pounders have been working best
What a great picture!!!

funny they want to keep quiet but you do not

We celebrated my business partner’s birthday last night so I slept in a bit today! Long story short, no time for a big report… (I’m doing this on my phone right now.) Good news is that the fish …
September is Tree Stand Safety Month, and archery deer season begins in just a few days.
We know these are safety measures many of you are familiar with, but a refresher is always good – especially if it prevents an injury or even death.
🔸 Always maintain three points of contact when climbing up to or down from the stand.
🔸 Wear a full-body harness that is properly attached above your head.
🔸 Ensure your tree stand is securely attached and stable before using it.
🔸 Use a haul line to get your hunting gear to and from the stand.
More than 9 million fish have been stocked so far in 2023. That’s a LOT of fish!
We like numbers, so let’s drill down into what it takes to stock that many fish throughout Michigan’s waterways.
269 – tons of fish stocked
2,233 – hours it took to stock them
89,000 – miles of traveling it took
17 – number of trucks used to stock them
375 – number of trips taken by those trucks
705 – different sites stocked with fish
There are even more stats on this year’s current fish stocking efforts, found in the full article: midnr.info/3t2H1Mq
If you’re interested to see if a specific lake has been stocked, you can see our full database at www2.dnr.state.mi.us/fishstock/
Thanks for sharing.

Are there some in west traverse bay? We marked some large blobs when salmon or bass fishing and wondered what they were. Bait schools don't show up solid like this pic.
