I am going to be in Michigan for a work seminar end of next week. I am thinking of taking my ice fishing gear along and staying an extra day or 2. I am wondering if it would be worth it? Or if anyone can suggest a lake in the area. I will be somewhat close to lake st clair so I wonder if that wold be worth a try? My other option would be to stop by crane creek or cawtaba on the way home but I don't think I want to walk out and it might be a too late to get a guide.

Thanks
James
    

Me and my brother and 2 friends drove through the blizzard to Catawba state park to go on a air-boat guided ice fishing trip. We rode approximately 4 miles around the island to someplace between mouse island reef and starve island reef. We were in 28 foot of water. We ended up with only 6 fish. The current was really strong most of the day. I landed 2 and lost 2 at the hole ( stuck on ice/ lack of gaffing skills). The fish came on silver and gold pimples, silver/blue buckshot spoon, purple pimple, and jigging shad raps. Not many fish but still great memories ,that will last a lifetime, of fishing with my brother. I dont think i will ever forget when I had the biggest fish i have ever hooked, on ice, at the hole and he tried to gaff it. Then when he said "o no" and i look over to see my spoon wrapped around the gaff. Good times.
