Lake Erie Michigan Carp Fishing

In Southeast Michigan carp fishermen are lucky to have access to Detroit River and Lake Erie. On Saturday I headed out to a spot near Lake Erie hoping for a chance at landing some catch and release carp.

The Midwest Regionals are next week in Saginaw. After blanking 3 times in a row my goal for the day was to bank some fish and build confidence for next week's event. We succeeded.

Today's effort included a nice small mouth buffalo and spunky 18 and 14 pound commons.

These fish were all caught with Trilogy Carp Baits flavored corn and R & W Carp Juice flavorings.

Blanking is Never Fun

I am kind of bummed out today.

Last weekend the weather didn't cooperate so when the 70's finally arrived yesterday I was excited to get out and fish. I was confident that fish would be caught in significant numbers. But 7 hours later with only 1 small bite and no fish caught I packed up the Explorer in complete disappointment.

This Buddy Guy song just about sums it up.

Carp Art

It's too cold to fish this weekend, so I tried to make some carp art indoors where it was a little warmer

Saturday Night Blues with Albert Collins

I fished today in some tough conditions and blanked, so I am drowning my sorrows tonight with some good old Texas blues from Albert King. When you listen to his music you can definitely see his influence on Stevie Ray Vaughn. Stevie Ray took Albert Collins style and improved on it.
