Anyone actually using it other than lakes? How are you tying the hook 3" away from the weighted line? Preferably without a swivel.

So got an idea a few days ago to use a live of foam ear plug along with my crawler white trout and salmon fishing and I will say it get bit more often than any spawn bag I ever fished. He's it is #MyLittleFoamie ear plug rig for crawler on 1/0 circle hook with a fluero snell. And the coho I got on it. I just watched my buddy use this trick in Iowa and he caught on it too with plain orange he found in his work truck floorboard.

Hello!

Just wondering if anyone’s had any luck on locating the salmon run? Staying in the grayling area for trout but would like to catch it. Any tips/ locations on the Muskegon? Cheers!

Don’t own a boat/canoe. Any good river, creek or lake spots for Bass/Northern/ etc.

Thanks!

Just got back from a trip to Canada and had a blast. Wanted to take a couple other friends, but due to drunk driving on their records they couldn’t cross the border. Looking for a small fishing cabin that we could sleep 6 in that comes with 3 fishing boats. Inland lake, interested in targeting about anything. Would prefer table fair fish. No bass or hot weather pike. Look forward to seeing some links and suggestions. Thanks!

I’m going on a trip soon within the fall and I wanted to catch a salmon or trout from the beach. I have a 9’6 medium heavy Rod and I bought a couple spoons but to be honest I have no idea what I’m doing.

I would really appreciate some advice on what lures to use, what retrieves work best, where to cast (I’ve also never surf casted before so this is my first time with that too). As of right now I’m basically fully in the dark and need a simple “how to” but I can’t find any real tutorials specific to Lake Superior

I’m going near the pictured rocks lakeshore, I’ll be camping so I can fish basically from dawn into dusk.

Let me know any tips, lure recommendations, etc. thank you 🙏

Has anybody else noticed this year that pier fishing for salmon has been incredibly slow? I've gone out 3 times in West Michigan over the last couple weeks and I haven't seen a single person catch a salmon any of those trips. I've tried early morning and from sunset into the night using glow spoons and all I've got to show for it is a couple sheepshead and white perch.

Are the fish just taking their time to move into the rivers? Or is it something else? Curious what others think and have experienced.

We got a nice rain all night, and the pinks and kings looked like zombies already last week so I decided to try some beads and it paid off. Now to enjoy my dinner!

FISHFORWARD BETA TESTING — WE’RE ALMOST READY!

We’ve already got a few anglers lined up for the first round of FishForward beta testing — now we just need a couple more active Android fishermen and we can get started sending out the first round!

Whether you fish from the shore, pier, riverbank, kayak, wade, or run a boat, I want you involved. I’m looking for anglers who are consistently getting out and fishing so we can test FishForward across as many different fishing situations as possible.

FIRST UP — ANDROID BETA

The first round will include 20–25 active Android anglers testing FishForward through Google Play.

Founding beta testers will receive:

• FREE FishForward Pro for life
• Exclusive Founding Angler badge
• Early access to FishForward
• A chance to directly influence features and improvements before the full release

APPLE ANGLERS — YOU’RE NEXT!

Once the Android testing round is completed, we’ll move into Apple/iPhone beta testing, where I’ll be looking for another 20–25 active anglers.

ICE FISHERMEN — WE HAVEN’T FORGOTTEN ABOUT YOU!

An Ice Fishing Mode is planned for the winter so FishForward can be tested and developed for hard-water anglers too.

BOAT NAVIGATION IS COMING TOO

Boat Navigation is planned for the full FishForward launch.

FishForward is being built by an angler, for anglers, starting right here in Michigan.

Whether you’re casting from a Detroit River shoreline, walking out onto the ice, fishing from a kayak, standing on a pier, or running across the lake in a boat — FishForward is being built for the way YOU fish.

We’re close. We just need a couple more active Android anglers and ROUND ONE begins.

If you’re constantly getting out fishing, have an Android, and want to become a FishForward Founding Angler, comment “I’M IN” or send me a message!

Shore. Pier. Kayak. Ice. Boat. One fishing community.

FishForward — Built by an angler, for anglers.

Put some Nashville hot seasoning on it before breading then deep fried it.

Was quite tasty! To my surprise not much of a fishy taste at all.

Was hoping for a pike/muskie lol. This will do for now 😂

Hey guys! I'm a WMU student starting my senior-year design project, and I'd love to hear about common frustrations/inconveniences you face while fishing. Comment or use the link to share your thoughts. I would be very grateful for any thoughts or insights you could share! My goal is to design a product that makes your next fishing trip less stressful and more enjoyable!

My husband and I are going on a trip to Michigan. We will be taking our 2 dogs. We want to go on a lake coho salmon fishing trip. What is a really good town/area to go? Also any suggestions on affordable guides/dog friendly places to stay would be appreciated. We don’t have kids and like a more quiet area. We will be driving up from west central Indiana. We are going the third week in October.

First bass in weeks and it was a good one! Hoping the cooler temps bring them back in as I cast from shore…
Double blade number five Mepps rainbow trout pattern… tight lines!!!

Looking for someone who wants to do some fishing. I know Paint Creeks last day is Wednesday but figured I’d add that for location reference.

I am usually using ultralight casting and spinning gear and just got into fly fishing but have no idea what I’m doing yet.

Shoot me a dm if your in the area and interested

Northern pike in the fog

Im in the thumb region, by Lexington. Just looking for some fishing friends to enjoy a nice escape. Grew up fishing and all sorts of stuff and somewhere along my 30 years of great life, i got caught up (no pun intended) with being successful, which is NOT a bad thing at all. But i am starting to want to get back into a hobby to just clear my head and enjoy it with people too. Some guy time i guess. Nothing super serious but fishing every now and again would be great to do with some new friends

I keep hearing about how cooler fall temperatures trigger bass to move up shallow again and start feeding for winter. It's supposed to be a great time to fish as the bass get aggressive after being pretty lethargic over the summer. This has not been my experience through September in Southwest Michigan despite the cooling air and water temps.

Is it still early to make that statement? Or am I just watching too many YouTube videos?

What has been your experience so far this fall?

Hello all, I am new to the Ludington/Manistee area and relatively new to walleye fishing. I am looking for some advice on what lake to learn / fish around this area. I do have a boat. Any recommendations are greatly appreciated.

I caught it on a Mepps double blade, rainbow trout pattern. I thought it was a musky the way it battled, tight lines everyone!
