    Great vid man. I was the guy was lost the sturgeon. Definitely disappointing but that’s fishing. Hopefully next time you guys make the drive you can hook up on some Kings and cohos. Eggs, especially skein will almost guarantee catch . Happy fishing

Not as far of a drive from Lansing and it's not so crowded also. Water is pretty low so you can wade most of the water there too.

    It's a shame that some people tend to lose their sense of decency when fishing at places like 6th Street, the Allegan Dam, Berrien Springs, etc. I guess the opportunity to catch a big fish brings out the worse in some humans. Fortunately the majority of people are just fine.

    Flossing is technically not fishing. Its just a way of getting around the law that states the rules on hook size and where the fish can be hooked to be legal. If the fish didn't take the lure, its foul hooked in my book!

      I like wading as well. I have an artificial knee so it keeps me outta fast deep water like at the 6th st dam. 50yrds downstream I can handle the current but up by the dam I'm done in an hour and hurting for days. I had a really bad experience in fast deep water on Muskegon river. I went by the dam and talked to a couple guys and they were hitting good on spawn. That centerpin you have will be great for drifting bags.
