You gotta love Lake Michigan...

I grew up fishing out there. Where else can you go and catch king, silver (referred to as coho in Mich), steelhead & lake trout on the same day. It's awesome. When the rod pops off the downrigger, you never know what you're going to get.

And all they ever use are those darn spoons...occasionally a plug, but usually it's all spoons. I'm headed back that way in a couple weeks and I'm going to pick some up. I wonder if they'll work out here in the salt???

On the downside, the fish are all full of dioxins and heavy metals (lead, mercury, etc), so the Health Department publishes consumption limits. For an adult, you're only suppose to eat these fish about once a month. Kids and pregnant woment shouldn't eat them at all.
