Quick limit out of Portage  on Sunday, 2/26.  Brad's Thin fish, ran on a flat line, no planer board.  Everyone is beating themselves up heading to Gary light.  All these fish were caught on the beach, some in 6 feet of water.
That makes two limits in the month of February, quite a year.

Nice! Thanks for the report 

Nice job! I like when you can stay away from the pack and still slay em 

Nice job! Thank you for the report!
By the way there are a lot of boats that never look for fish close the shore.

I can remember my dad taking us to Michigan City in the mig 60s and the dead alliwives were stacked on the beach a foot high in places and there were alliwives close to shore and we watch a group of kings right up next to shore. They were so shallow their dorsal fin and part of their back were sticking out of the water and the belly was making lines in the sand!

I was hooked! I wanted to catch big kings. I started fishing off the old steel bridge in Bristol Indiana when I was 4. I never caught anything but I could see the Red Horse suckers in the shallow water and I'd fish several times a week by myself. We just lived 2 blocks south of main street so I pulled my wagon with my pole and fishing tackle box to the bridge.

Man, I was only 4 and I walked the the butcher shop on main street to get meat for my grandmother.

Getting back to lake Michigan, I couldn't wait to go fishing. I didn't get the opportunity until I was 16 and my friends uncle lived in Traverse City so we would go up and hed take is fishing in east or west bay depending on wind and waves. I've never stopped!
