I was just looking at deflock.org (shows map of active flock cameras) and noticed there’s flock cameras in the Lowe’s parking lot in Petoskey and Gaylord. Also looks like another one setup on the north end of Torch lake.

I’ve been following the city hearings downstate of the implementation of flock cameras and the crazy headlines that follow, but didn’t realize they were quietly putting them up in our communities.

Does this rub anyone else the wrong way?

Second Muskie Ever- 43.5"

Ive had ALOT of encounters. A few 40"+ pike & musky that popped off, broke off from my line or leader. Trips to the UP where it seemed every fish on structure was following but not biting.. finally joined the 40" club.

37, brand new angler, SE MI, please help

My son is 9 and has been begging to fish. I’m trying to learn as much as I can as quickly as I can but I know catching just takes time and experience.

We looked at some different ways to go about it and have landed on wading, and trout fishing with lure and reel.
I’ve fished Mill Creek with him in Dexter twice. With no luck, and him getting soaked.

If you guys have any pro tips, or direction for good spots in SE MI to wade it would be so helpful.

Just trying to be a good dad, and him catching will make it all worth it.

Good Public Boat Launches on Detroit River?

Now that the weather is warming up, I wanted to ask the community if there's any good (and safe) boat launches on the Detroit River that you can leave your vehicle/trailer at, somewhat near downtown?

Follow up question. Are there any other places besides Sinbad's where you can dock and walk or grab a bite to eat?

Can’t identify fish

I thought it was a blue gill at first- fishbrain called it a pumpkin seed- comment said it was a red ear?

Hi all,

I've made one other post here with my pb white bass from two weeks ago. I would absolutely consider myself a beginner. However I live on a pretty nice sized lake and I am going to purchase a kayak so I can fish on it.

My first rod and reel combo was from Shakespeare spinning reel from Meijer (LOL but it's served me well so far!) I truly don't think this rod/reel will hold up for targeting larger, more aggressive fish (bass, pike, salmon potentially)

Could anyone recommend me a spinning rod/reel combo that is manageable from a kayak that will future proof me?

Budget range ($150-250)

Thanks y'all!

Finally! After the winter just wouldn’t go away, and then surgery on my shoulder taking me out I got the okay to do light fishing.

First cast!
