Made the run up Saturday morning. First time launching and fishing there, although we scoped out the launch and river over the summer. On the water at 5:40 fast time. Ran out with a group of boats 5 miles to 100fow. Quick hit and run, then a four hour lull until we picked up a laker. Radio chatter was very, very bleak, so at least it wasn't just us. Said some fish were being taken in 200fow, but the wind and waves were building, so we had to stay closer to port in our small time ride.
The South End provides useful resources and discussion forums for those that fish The South End of Lake Michigan for Salmon, Steelhead, Perch, and Bass as well as elsewhere in the Region and Chicago area.
