Whitefish on the Piers?

[vexologist]

Just curious if anyone has been out yet or heard if any whitefish have been showing up along the piers? MC Pier or Portage Riverwalk/Lakefront..Any info would be greatly appreciated..PM me if you desire..Thx

[MC_angler]

heard they've been caught up in Michigan. Should be any day now, especially with this cold weather

MC Pier will be hard to get to since the drawbridge is now closed. Have to go the back way (Karwick to LakeShore) to get to Washington Park

How long will the bridge be closed? Thanks for the heads up!!

[MC_angler]

I'm not sure. I heard 45 days but not sure if that is accurate or not. Sounds like it will be a significant amount of time though

[vexologist]

Awesome..Thx MC for the update and heads up!!

[crappiehunter]

this is a big bummer really. Sure got to go a long way around!! I'm sure it's the best time of the year for them to do it though.

You might be able to sneak by B&E by Blue Chip to Lake Shore Dr... I just usually go Karwick because I am coming from that direction. This weather sure ought to bring in the whitefish and the winter runs

Don't take my word for it on the internet, look it up yourself!

Awesome Thx! Time to limit out..LOL

Any action? Or for coho? Is this cold causing movement? I also heard something about a new ramp on Trail, any truth to that?

[MC_angler]

i have not heard about a new ramp on Trail, but that doesn't mean much haha.

Coho probably won't be around for awhile yet - not until Trail Creek is warmer than Lake Michigan I would guess. And that probably won't happen for some time.

nobody has been fishing the pier due to the weather and waves. I am planning on going the first day we don't have 10 footers and 20-30 MPH winds!

[crappiehunter]

lol I might try on Friday.

Any updates? Is the pier iced up going to need some cramp-ons?
