Whopper in the Summer

I haven't posted too much about my fishing in the summer of 2016.  I notice that some of the places I blog about start to see a lot of pressure once I've posted about them, and I have seen a lot of people harvesting nice pike from the Looking Glass that take years to grow.  I get worried, too, that anglers fishing in places I blog about don't do a good job of cleaning up after themselves, and that people will think that it's me making  mess. It's not.  For that matter, behave when you are out.  I don't want people thinking some kid acting like a jerk is the guy with the blog.

I continue to have fun fishing in northern Michigan.  I attend a camp on natural resources north of Alpena in August, and always stop by the Thunder Bay River for some bass fishing;




Meanwhile, fishing along the Looking Glass is good.  Recently I caught two bass and three pike using a live target frog popper and a Heddon One knocker.  I have also had great success with a Heddon Super Spook Junior with a white body and a chartreuse head.  Black and blue hack attack jigs with a pacca chunk as a trailer are effective, too.
