The Ice is Clearing and Boats are on Water (Fishing in the U.P. Report)

The ice is clearing and boats are starting to get back on the water. I'm reviewing a couple of motors for my small boat in an effort to replace the one that was broke. Its the one I bought with the boat but didn't run well. I didn't pay much so I'm not worried about it. However, for now I'm checking out all the shore places to cast a line. Based on the warm weather and lots of melting snow the waters are running very fast. You don't want to fall in at some places. 

The fishing report on MLive yesterday. 'Fishing report: Walleye run in ‘full swing,’ in one part of Michigan'. The following is quoted: 

"Little Bay de Noc: Anglers were done ice fishing the bay and awaiting the end of any remaining ice.

Big Bay de Noc: Shoreline ice remains in Ognontz Bay, while ice in Garden Bay was melting and will likely be open soon."


My Useless Fishing Report. I went on the Escanaba river near the dam and threw my line in. I came up with a different kind of rigging. My friend calls it "Alabama rigging" which I never heard before. 

Anway, it didn't work this time but I plan on trying it again. The current pushed it just fine but no takers of the lure. I think I will ensure the lure doesn't get wrapped and put an official leader on. 

Lost my cheap rubber grub and sinker on the rocks in the water. As you can tell, I was not successful so apparently I'm still doing something wrong. 

The water is running super fast.
