If you really want to catch fish throw 1-2 ounce spoons with glow colors and start fishing the piers at sunset. They bite in spurts though out the night last as long as you can. But sunset till 10-11 is hot
Do not know for sure but Manistee lake is full of them.
Yes there moving in not big numbers yet. Still salmon out on the shelf but things have started to pick up at the mouth and in the river.
They are actually in the Manistee river just starting to come
The salmon are starting to come in closer I’m sure there are some pooling in Pete Marquette lake but not so much in the river yet. Fishing is always good in Hamlin
Btw. I’m here in Manistee. Michigan and the salmon fishing is on fire!!
Well it was stated and it certainly was a turtle. I learned that the vertebrae are attached permanently to the shell something I never knew. Not exactly flexible.
Checking with a marine biologist!!
Sent the pics to a biologist (marine) no clue she will forward it to others.
Will keep you posted
That’s a good idea I think I will pursue that I would really like to know where it came from.
One possibility could be a massive sturgeon skull a portion of that but more research needs to be done thanks for your input.
It’s very interesting I tossed it up on the beach farther so I should take a pic of the other side it’s solid so I think it rules out a appendage as they have bones similar to our fingers.
Found this washed up on Lake Michigan the backside is solid bone does anyone know what this is?
Personal size limit? Florida law says it’s a keeper
