Me and 5 of my fellas drove up to Manistee MI so excited for the thought of just catching some Salmon. We received a call the day before from Captain Lenny confirming our Charter. On Monday we got up early in the morning, had breakfast at our hotel and headed to the Dock. We got on board and proceeded to drive out to Deep Waters. Captain Lenny warned us that the waters could be a bit turbulent(Thanks Dorian) however we were so excited we wanted to fish and as long as we had a honest shot at catching fish, we wanted to proceed.
Well to make a long story short, the waves were high, the waves rocked the boat, and there was absolutely nothing biting, a couple of us got sick due to the waves and we called our trip, cutting it short. Returned back to dock very disappointed int he outcome, in essence we wasted 600 bucks.
Later on the way home we came to find from the local tackle and fish place that basically the waters had been turbulent all week and no one was really out there catching anything, per what they said.
So the moral of the lesson from us is simply this, Lake MI has great fishing, but make sure of the conditions and understand what is happening on the waters for that day. We were inexperienced and we paid the price, but our trip was fantastic despite the disappointment of not getting any fish.
Please go fish and enjoy yourself, but do your homework and know what the physical conditions are so you can truly enjoy your time.
