Fall on Lake Michigan



I intended to have more fall/winter trout fishing pictures, but man did it turn cold for winter break.  The lake's main access points are frozen now and it will take a nice warm snap to open them up.  I am hoping to try down by the Oak Creek power plant for the first time this January/February.

We caught many more fish than are pictured, but included are the highlights.

Some of the fish pictured here were caught on our first Waukesha West Fishing Club outing where we fished from shore using spawn, jerk baits, crank baits, and jigs with plastic.  Other fish were caught by fishing club members who returned on their own, and some were caught by Tim, Bill and me on our own.

It was great sharing Lake Michigan shore spots with the kids, and while I personally didn't catch any monsters this fall it was still a great time each trip.

It appears there is enough ice out on local lakes now so I guess it will be time to start ice fishing...although I am not a huge fan of that.

Here are links to some of our favorite lures...almost all of which can be purchased at Dick Smith's in Delafield.

Firetiger Scatterrap Shad
White Shadow Rap Shad
