AHOY! From Captain Bill Myers with Delta Dawn Charters of Upper Michigan MI

I offer charter fishing on Big and Little Bays de Noc , the Bay of Green Bay, and Lake Michigan from ice out to mid November for salmon, trout, and walleye. I charter fish out of three ports in the central Upper Peninsula of Michigan, Manistique, for salmon, Gladstone, Little Bay de Noc . for walleye, and Escanaba MI, Bay of Green Bay, and Big Bay de Noc. for walleye, salmon, and trout. Being an avid, diehard fisherman, I gained invaluable knowledge while fishing salmon, trout, and walleye in the local area learning key locations and techniques. While charter fishing together, we can share my expertise along with the love of fishing. And while in the Upper Peninsula, (Escanaba , Gladstone , Manistique, Mi.), take advantage of the tourism which offers the finest in food, lodging, scenic beauty, and related activities.

Important Questions to Ask About Fishing Rods

Article by Robert Feuring

When you are purchasing new fishing rods, you shouldn’t just go into the store and pick the first rod that catches your eye. If you want the best results possible with your purchase, you need to take into consideration some important factors that should guide your fishing rods.

Here are a few questions to ask before you begin buying fishing rods.

When Do You Use Your Fishing Rods?

This is an important factor. You need to take into consideration how often you’re going to be using the equipment you buy. For example, many fishers just consider this a hobby they can do on the weekends as a way to unwind and relax. It’s not a competition. Other fishers take their fishing very seriously; some even compete in tournaments and strive to break catch records. Obviously if you are the latter then you’re going to want to choose your fishing rods more carefully. You might even want to build a custom rod. On the other hand, if you’re just a hobbyist then you’ll still want to choose carefully but you’ll be able to find something in the average online store that will meet your needs.

Where Do You Use Your Fishing Rods?

One of the big decisions you’ll want to make when looking at your fishing rods is how far you travel to reach the fishing location and how easy you want your fishing equipment to be to transport. For example, if you can simply walk to your favorite fishing hole then you’ll want to look at fishing rods that can be transported very conveniently, possibly one that can collapse into a much smaller, easier to carry piece. On the other hand, if you’ve got plenty of room you might prefer to choose a single piece fishing rod that can be placed in your trunk or stored in the garage.

What Are You Going to Catch with Your Fishing Rods?

The majority of fishing rods are designed for specific types of fish. They were built to cast a certain distance or were built to withstand the environmental differences of saltwater over freshwater, etc. You may be able to find some fishing rods that can be used for a wide range of fishing applications but you’ll probably pay more and you’ll find they don’t do as well as more specific types. Instead, go in with either a fishing location or a type of fish in mind. Look at what each of the fishing rods claims to be created for. If you do plan on fishing in multiple types of environments, go ahead and invest in multiple fishing rods. You won’t regret the decision.

Where Should I Buy Fishing Rods?

When you’re looking for fishing equipment, you’re best bet is to do some research and get a good idea of what you’re wanting. Then go to online stores with larger selections and lower prices to make your purchases. Sea Isle Tackle, for instance, is one possible location to consider.

Fishing Locations question by Jamie R.: Fishing in Santa Barbara County, California?

Answer by bassplayer_1313
they’re all getting dry now but there is good stream fishing in SB county. the santa ynez above cachuma usually has trout when there is enough water. it doesn’t get this dry too often. there are also bass (smallmouth and largemouth), cats and bluegill in the lower sections. there may still be enough water in sections for stocking. there are a number of deep holes. l’m not sure if the other two smaller reservoirs on the stream still allow fishing. l do think the lower one does. check with forest service or city of santa barbara.
the sisquoc watershed and it’s streams also have good trout fishing. again,check with the forest service or fish and game as to whether or not there is enough water now. there is a dfg office in SB. sorry, no rivers. not real ones with water, anyway.
lopez lake near arroyo grande has some good fishing and santa margarita lake a ways further on is one of the prettiest lakes in so cal.
finally you have lake casitas in ventura county not far from you. l consider that my home lake. l spend lots of time there. big fish in that lake.
then the ocean. lots and lots of great fishing from the piers, shore or boat. a multitude of species. and it’s all well protected by those islands. excellent halibut all along SB’s coastline as well as so cal’s best surf perch fishing.
hope l was a bit of help. feel free to email with any add’l Qs. within my limited expertise, anyway.
