My name is Gavin. I'm a student at Western Michigan University. I'm currently doing a design project to create a product that will make traveling with a lot of fishing equipment in cars or truck a lot safer and easier. If you have just a couple minutes, I'd love to hear what you have to say. Please fill out my 4-question survey. Thank you for your opinions.

Some beautiful smallies out of the Huron in Ann Arbor. So far best one out of this section 3.53 lbs

Mostly Jerk baits, Swim Jigs, and Glide Baits for me.

Whats everyone else using for dam fishing small mouth?

Looking to go out with a couple buddies and they’re in the Caledonia area and that’s not an area I’m too familiar with lake wise. Doesn’t have to be your honey hole just a lake with some decent bass

I've been fishing the muskegon river and I see the salmon. The issue is they're not biting. I've tried beads,spinners, yarn, thunderstick, and they're just not having it. They even move out of the way. What do I do?

I'm using 3 splitshot for the current

I’m fairly new to fishing and would love some friends in the hobby. Maybe someone closer to my age ( early 20’s). I’m in the metro Detroit area

Mods gave me the go-ahead to post this.

I got tired of trying to read and interpret the MDHHS's Eat Safe Fish guidance. Its a PDF and its super long. Not to mention its not easily searchable.

So I put it somewhere usable. Every Michigan water with advisories, somewhere around 550 of them, all searchable by water and species, with the size breaks spelled out in plain English. It worked so well, that I decided to build out the same for the 49 other states. Each one has adapter for collecting and updating the data. The data itself is regularly refreshed, so anything new will get picked up.

It reads straight from the state guide and links the official source on every page, so you can check my work. If something looks wrong for a water you fish, tell me and I'll fix it.

I built in a ton of neat features into the application, including the ability to take a photo of what you caught, and where you caught it, and have the system automatically give suggestions on the species of fish, and whether or not its safe to eat.

Everything on the site is free. The app is also free, but there is a paid tier that unlocks some additional features, which helps cover the cost of running the application. Theres no ads or anything like that. I built this because I myself am a fisherman (in Michigan!) and put a couple of my passions together.

Anyone in west Michigan wanna go out in my boat for some pan fish or bass maybe northern this morning or this evening?! No weirdos please.

Finally dialed in my fishing bike.

The fall bite is on fire for smallmouth in Northern Michigan. The best part, I watched two boats in a tournament pick this spot apart yesterday with their FFS for an hour and not catch a fish. My biggest 5 in just under 2 hours were 16.96lbs.

Looking to catch some channels but curious if they’re gorged on dead salmon at this point

Hey yall, I'm down in Otsego for the weekend, looking for some spots to bank fish on either the river or a lake. Just need a spot and I'll be a happy man!

I'm talking about Gallup Park on the Huron River by Ann Arbor . Usually I don't see people keeping fish out of the Huron River . But over the past week I've seen three different people with buckets keeping fish at Gallup Park . Is this legal? Because it's so populated that doesn't seem very sportsmanlike. But if it's legal I guess I can complain too much either .

Kind of a longshot but any anglers here that frequent this area of southeast Michigan near Monroe? Long story short, im traveling and know nothing about this water. Ive been out fishing everyday for a week and im starting to question my sanity/"skill". ANY tips and or help would be appreciated. Ive tried numerous lures, techniques, depths, baits, and locations in the red circled area to no avail. Thanks everyone

are salmon still running in the rivers, and can i still catch them on piers in west michigan?
