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 10-21-12

Some people are thinking it's over.  I disagree.  They are still catching Chinooks that are still silver.  To me that means there are still more coming from the lake.  I think it's going to be a few fish trickle in every few days type of season.  In reality fishing in the pike just started for the fly guys because of the rain late last week.  I mean, the water is finally deep enough in a few spots for the fish to make it further west than Carthage College.  I think before that there were a lot of fish bottled up in the pools just west of the lake.  Remember, now that the dam in Kenosha Country Club is gone, those fish can travel to Petrifying Springs Park easier.  Now, there is no longer a dam there either.  So if the water is high enough, I guess the fish can get west of Green-Bay Rd.  Probably end up dying is some farm field.  Weird!
Anyway, just call if you think it's over, you don't have to worry about me telling you it's happening when it isn't.  We don't work that way here.  Later- Bob
