NWI-Bassin'

Everytime I've gone out on Lake Michigan , I don't catch anything. I've tried everything I have .. Plastics,jigs,spinners,cranks , etc. I'm not sure if it matters but I'm fishing out of the portage lakefront walk. Other people were catching things but I can't even get a bite. Help? Thanks!

i like the sahara more but the bail wire seems pretty flimsy.

What about the sedona . it's cheaper and has good reviews.

What size reel? I'm looking at a shimano sahara .1000 or 2500. Going to put it on a bass pro micro lite. 6 foot or 6 1/2?

What size rod should i be using as well as line.?

I recently got back into fishing after 6 months of giving up . But theres this lake 10 minutes away from me with nice sized bluegill as weel as smallies and an occasional large mouth . Well , I need a rod for catching bluegills and crappie too. Any recommendations?My guess would be an UL but im not sure. Also , what are a few of your top baits for catching Bluegills.. Thanks!

What about your spool tension knob.?

What part of northern Indiana. I'm up here as well.

A billed jig head .

I've tried spinnerbaits and never had any luck..

Alewife,smelt and perch are pretty common.

Well , the water all depends. It can be somewhat clear then Murky ..I'm not sure what the forge is , I haven't really checked. But I fish Lake Michigan majority of the time.

What colors ? I went to bass pro and couldn't decide so I gave up. Lol

I have money to spend and I want to have a successful season .. So what are some of your successful , sure fire baits & lures? Thanks.

Where are all of the Indiana fisherman. From Indy to NWI . What are you guys looking forward to the season ??

Sadly yes. Lol. I had 40+ , I found a container of receitps and they were all for lipless cranks lol..

What Great Lake are you fishing ?

What about turning and things like that?

I'll be trying both. The ascend D10 and D10 SOT. my local bass pro has a small pond I believe that they let you test them in. I just don't want to capsize in the SOT

I have trouble teaching them techniques which is a pain.

I have two 7 year olds I take as well as a 9 year old. I'm trying to teach them how to fish as well to enjoy the sport. What are some sure fire baits or lures?

The only people I fish with are my little siblings or family that never fished. What lures/baits should I setup for them. Nothing that cost $10 or is a pain to mess with. What about line choice as well.i don't want line that need to be changed after every outing or is crazy exspensive as well.. Thanks!

Please explain how you use it for steelhead. What lures are you using and what scent. I've tried everything and can't catch a dang one.

Lipless cranks. Yup. While some of you guys say jigs or spinnerbaits. I have about 5 jigs and 5 spinnerbaits. But around 20 lipless cranks. And I've only been fishing since April. And another thing is I've gotten hung up about 15+ so... Add 20 more lipless cranks. Lol

Some of the waves can be a little wild even when it's relatively calm.
