TOPIC:

Good evening. I live down in Marshall County. Have owned Lund and Crestliner boats but haven’t ventured out on Lake Michigan. Currently own a Lund Tyee 1975 with 225 HP Four Stroke on it. Have been a walleye guy and love it. However as we know in Indiana it’s not the ideal place for it. Have done a few river trips and loved the Steelhead and kings that we encountered. Probably will launch out of Portage or St Joe for the most part. Looking to learn the salmon/trout game and here to take in information and learn. Hoping to launch Friday finally as I have been waiting to get my VHF antenna up and running. Just finished checking all the equipment to launch with the coast guard checklist and look forward to getting some lines in the water. 

The quality of Lake Michigan fishing will make you mostly forget about the rest of the state.  It certainly happened to me.  If you sit back and learn from this site, and fellow anglers around you in general, you would be hard pressed to find a better fishery anywhere.

Welcome,  spring coho is very similar to walleye fishing-trolling inline boards. So it's a great time to start. I first was a walleye fisherman( still am) and now I've been here a couple years , always learning.  This is a great site, Any questions just ask- alot of knowledge on the board

Thank you for the reply. Definitely look forward to learning what I can. Being so close to the lake it will be nice to also utilize our great resource that I haven’t over the years. Looking forward to it. 
 

Welcome to the site and lake m fishing! Once your out trolling in your own boat and hook that first king then it's game over pretty much everything else besides salt water haha

Welcome aboard!

Welcome to the forum. As a new guy, I have found everyone here very informative and nice. I have learned many things from the people here and hope to put them to good use soon. 

Thank you all for the replies. I appreciate it greatly. Look forward to meeting some and gaining some knowledge from those on here. Thank you.
