I'm am back from Lake Muskoday on Belle Isle. We headed out about 6 a.m., drove the 34 miles to Belle Isle, arrived at 6:40 a.m., put the rods in about 7 a.m., fished for 6 hours, had 1 run, gave up and returned home. That was my day in a nutshell.
It was my first time fishing Lake Muskoday. I obviously fished the wrong spot because I have it on good authority that the carp fishing in that lake is usually pretty good. Here's a picture of our spot.
It was very foggy this morning with a 1 mph breeze that was barely distinguishable. The temp gauge registered 62 degrees as we drove into the parking lot.
We actually looked at a few other spots on Lake Muskoday, but decided they were too mossy and too far from the restrooms. I guess the joke's on us though because on the way out we saw several other carpers set-up in that mossy area. (I don't know if they were catching anything though.)
If I try Lake Muskoday again, I will probably try a different spot.
The only fish I fought today was a quick hit I got retrieving my final rod prior to packing up. I don't know if it was a carp or not, but it was B-I-G. It got hung up on a snag near the shoreline, so I didn't get a chance to see for sure.

Belle Isle Park
I am going to find out if the carp are biting at Belle Isle Park tomorrow. Lake Muskoday looks promising for a nice day of carp fishing. I've only been to the island one other time. I'm looking forward to seeing the changes now that it's essentially a Michigan State Park now.
