Love reading your posts-learn much and I laugh a lot! Y’all are awesome. I’m up in the UP Michigan when I’m not somewhere else, lol. Living on Big Manistique Lake. Fishing a lot, catching almost never! What a newbie for an old lady! Still love it! S Carol

Welcome Carol, you’re in some fine fishing waters. I’d check out some local bait and tackle shops for some tips on where and what to fish. Glad to have you aboard.

Welcome to the Stage! You are definitely living in a beautiful spot! I pass thru your area quite often during various seasons, and the Jolly Inn always offers up a great meal. If you have room for dessert...those enormous cinnamon rolls will satisfy your craving for something sweet!

The North, Central and South Manistique lakes all seem to harbor good fish populations according to local legends and the folks at Fish and Hunt in Curtis. Maybe they could reveal a few secrets!

The Manistique river has always intrigued me as a place to catch some trophy brook trout, especially the very rural segments! Just bring plenty of bug repellent along!

Northern Pike fishing within the Seney Wildlife Refuge can be a lot of fun too, depending on the time of season. As you know, the fishing is limited to what you are able to reach by casting from shore. If you wear hip boots you can step in a bit farther. Just be careful not to get stuck in the soft mucky bottom!

Good luck once the water opens up. The old punky ice from what formed this Winter should be gone in another 2 or 3 weeks!

Welcome to the Stage Carol! You are definitely in God’s country! We love pics here on the stage, whether they of are of scenery or of success! Do you fish from a boat or are you shore bound? Lots of great info here!!
If you have a boat, trolling a jointed Rapala in your choice of colors is a simple and great great way to find out where fish are hanging out… good luck!

Spent a week on Big Maniatique a couple years ago. All the bluegill were only about 5 inches long. Had good success bass fishing with plastic worms. If I ever go back will concentrate on bass.
