I caught my first top water fish!!
Was getting bit on plastics all day and they shut off so I decided to try something different and step out of my comfort zone. Boy am I glad I did.

Rod builder needed!
Is anyone a rod builder, or know one local to the metro Detroit area?
I have a old general St.Croix Premier Musky rod, 8' MH that Id like to play with- Id like to definitely extended the handle, and maybe move the reel seat forward slightly. If anyone knows anyone whom can do this, please feel free to respond or reach out

Advice/Tips Please?
Good morning guys! Could use a little advice and/or some recommendations. So, I’m in the Livingston County area and fish a few lakes out here. “Chain Of Lake’s” to be exact. I have just used night crawlers literally 99.9% of the time and obviously have decent luck with it. I really want to use a lure or something too and I have no idea what’s best or really how they work to be totally honest with you. My main goal is to use it for the bass. I have “purple worms” as well and just can’t seem to get anything with it. Is a purple worm good to use? Or, Is there something you guys can recommend me or send a link to me of something that would work really well? Kinda embarrassing but I just have no idea how lures/fake bait works. What’s something that bass would really like? Thanks guys. Y’all have a good morning.

Where's a good place to try
Im from NC and just got to Pontiac for work. Plan to fish if I get free time. Will be here for 30 up to 90 days. Whats some good places to try out? Really want to catch anything not available in central nc. So pike, walleye, smallmouth, trout, or salmon. I haven't combed through the regulations and after some videos I made sure to learn the difference between pike and muskie. Give me a spot that'll make me wanna pay for that 79$ license instead of the 10$ day pass.

2026 Fall trip
I just saw a post here on the same subject and people were saying “it’s too early to be dreaming of fall”🤣🤣 So I apologize in advance.
Me and a friend are going to start planning a trip to michigan this fall and I will check back in later in the summer but I’m just looking for a few pointers as we start to plan. We’re both from southern wisconsin area so we get salmon and trout but our fisheries are not quite the same as you guys. We’re looking to do some early king fishing in the rivers sometime end of august—early september. We don’t have a boat but we’re prepared to hike and camp. Not asking anyone to give up their honey hole, but what should we look for in terms of river systems and areas where we can do this sort of trip? Just a couple of young anglers who want to learn all we can about salmon/trout fishing in the great lakes and have a good time.

The smallmouth in my area are so picky. I can go a few miles away and catch 10+ lmb in a few hours but I fished my river all day and only caught 5 of these. I'd still rather fish for these.

Trying to take the old man fishing up north for the vibes. Anyone know any vboat rentals let’s say for example the rose city area? Can’t really find anything online.

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.
