Harborside Bait & Tackle Fishin' Report: fishin' report 9-21-12

Hello, my name is Bob, and I've been a fisherman for 35 yrs. Sounds like an intro. for a twelve step program doesn't it? They think we fishermen are addicted, sick, and twisted. Who else would stand shivering in the rain, feet wet, hands aching, making one more cast for a one in 10,000 chance at a Musky? (Get it? The fish of 10,000 casts) Yeah, I have a problem, but they say admitting it is the first step.

Anyway, about 10 yrs ago my friend Dave Wamboldt and I met while working together at Pike Creek Outfitters. Mike and Barb Hines, the owners were ready to retire, do some traveling, and start enjoying life instead of getting up in the dark as they both did for many years. I learned a great deal from them and they always treated me like family, and still do.

What you will find here is people who know what they're talking about, and everything you need for Lake Michigan. Dave is the Perch Guru. He even pours his own worms, we call them the "Wammer Slammers". I would be up the creek, to put it politely, without Dave. Did I mention he's got way more experience than me because he's way older? That's funny, I mention it to him all the time.

Thanks, Bob

fishin' report 9-21-12

They are killin' them today. All morning has been a chartreuse/glow green bite. Even rookies are hooking up. Weather- crappy, but as I've said that = good fishing. Get out there and tie into one. Finally lots of Browns are being caught. Last few days were pretty good, but today is much better. Beach has been best, but good luck finding a spot. Maybe if you showed up with a machete hanging off your belt. Not much more I can say except the weekend looks lousy too, so that should also be good. Later- Bob
PS- If I can make it out of bed,I plan on trying Silver tomorrow.
