Bass Fishing Inland Lakes & Rivers / Lake Skegemog
Last post by the dirty musky II - July 06, 2024, 10:54:20 AMHey gang, does anyone know if Skegemog gets over run with jet boats and wake board people like Torch does during summer time?
new Bass boat this year, new bass fisherman here as well. (also musky hunter) Any help greatly appreciated. Wifey and I are looking for some fishing lakes with less craziness.
THANKS!

Bass Fishing Tips, Techniques & General Discussion / I found an Old ShipWreck with ...
Last post by Bigbass201 - July 05, 2024, 05:18:21 AMWho still uses their side scan fairly regularly? I had it on my old boat, then when I got my fiberglass Ranger it didn't come with it. I didn't replace it for several years. I finally got it back on my boat I got in the fall. Man, I didn't realize how much I missed it until I put back on this boat. I was scouting around Lake Erie and came across a couple old wrecks on the bottom that I never knew were there. I had my ice fishing camera with me, and I was able to drop that down as well and get a decent look at it with the fish around it. I have to say it was my highlight of fishing year so far. I think I enjoy finding something new to fish as much as catching a big one sometimes. This spot did hold good smallmouth too.

Bass Fishing Tips, Techniques & General Discussion / I came across article on Dan
Last post by Bigbass201 - May 25, 2024, 07:11:49 AMDan, I came across this article that featured you this week. It's too bad they didn't mention your forum here. It could use a little boost. Thanks for all you have done for sport of bass fishing in Michigan. I remember Bryan Plenzler telling me about some things you were doing decades ago.
