Well How do you get from Here to there

[Rangerman]

Understand I-75 shut down again with South Bound.. Is it best to take I-275 headed North to I 275 to I-96 to I-94 going or run the construction to I 94 to Clinton Township?? and then I 94/96 to I 275 home to I-75   So What's Up. Y'all must have the same road crew we goi in North Carolina

[LennyB]

I would just go I-75 North to I-94 East going there. Going home I would go I-696 West to I-275 South to I-75 South.

[LAPORTE]

I thought 75 was closed south of 94..? 

[djkimmel]

That part of the state has a talent for messing up traffic every season... Sometimes you just have to grin and bear it!

[Hollada]

Do what google maps tells you to.  Should route you around construction in the best way.

Yes... Or 275 to 696 E to 94.

Big thanks guys we had two boat past thru yesterday going north from 75 to 94 no real problem just lots of construction buts thats same about everywhere Coming home  i printed out the directions from above and HOPE the new updated Garmin will get me back South Bound and down. We got 6 boats headed that way with Brown Bass on their mind Not going to worry about coming home till Saturday Week. We will make it . May take a little longer and a few detours. I sure wish LSC was about 11 hours closer, and Cotton was a Monkey and I had a Water Melon. You young guys don't remember that do you??

[LennyB]

I believe it's just the South Bound side of I-75 that is closed.

[Rangerman]

Thats what the MI DOT says on there web site. Any  now I purchased the New Garmin with traffic up date after last years trip with all the on off ramps closed from I-75 and I-94 Quite a thrill seeing part of Detroit I would not care to visit again. But you locals think just stay on I-75 going and then I-94 instead of 275, 696 going and coming?? to I-94

[Rangerman]

Well here's a blow by blow. Went I 75 to I 94 no problems other than normal traffic and construction.  We had to return home due to a problem after one day of fishing. We just followed the Garmin from I-94 to I-275 to I 75 with no problem.  I would advise anybody headed to Roseville area from North I-75 just to take I-275 going and coming due to ease of route and no quick Left Right, Right Left turns in Detroit traffic dragging a boat trying to read signs and play  dodge the barrel. about 15 miles longer but very easy for a Good ole boy from down south not used to the Big City traffic.

Only one day of fishing?  I'm sorry to hear that. Seems like a long drive to fish Clair only one day. I hope you found some fish. Maybe you can fish some other lakes on the way home. Drive safe.

[Rangerman]

Right only one day, I had planned to stay a week to 10 days, but had a problem and had to get home.  Sure nuff guys coming from North on i-75 I would highly recommend that you take I-275 to I 94 , I know it's a little longer but a lot easier pull a boat. You also miss the cluster in town. Fishing was hard. All boats catching 15-20 per day in about 11' of water on different baits, mostly on the bottom or near bottom. Monday the count is going up from the report of the crew. I was disappointed due to the other spring trips we catching 80-100 per day and our best day last year was 146   Think we were just a little early.  Hope to get back in two weeks if I can get a local back seat to split the expense. It was 700 mile one way and 12 hours and cost each about $800 for one day. A very expensive trip for sure

[djkimmel]

Very sorry to hear you had to cut your trip so short!! I hope you get another shot later this year maybe? Good luck!

[Rangerman]

Well like Arnold says" I'll Be Back Baby"

[djkimmel]

Hope so.
