Fishing out of boat and ice fishing
I am and avid walleye & Perch fisherman, Lately we haven't had any good ice so I fish the Little Bay De Noc in the UP For Perch in March sometimes they have ice until April. Its my quite place were I can think about everything going on in my life and just relax. Fishing with a Charter Captain as #1 Deck hand. Usually start out on the Detroit river On the Canadian side. We are great at finding the Walleyes we usually make sure our clients get there limit. Just like any other business its only as good as it's employee's. I have enjoyed fishing since I was a Knee high to a grasshopper, Love it. My favorite is ice fishing. But when there's no ice I am in a boat chasing Perch & Walleyes.
