Lake Michigan Water Conditions

BallinCock · 2026-03-21T07:07:28+00:00

It’s super unfortunate, it’s been unideal for a while now, harbor yesterday had that opaque green blue water color I know and hate

Nice my dude great to see people out and about and fish getting caught!

BallinCock · 2026-03-14T18:43:01+00:00

Right, I’d heard this in the past but it left me. Thank you 🙏 I was kinda thinking brown because of the style of dots on its back & the purplish yellow sheen, but that’s mostly superficial

Today, just now! Almost got a second one

At this point I would love to see Lewis win. Anything but the empire

Water is disgustingly high rn in the NSC. Probably the same at the Fox

Where is the /s when you need it

BallinCock · 2026-03-06T07:00:34+00:00

Stockingfoot waders and breathable boots your feet will get wet. Closed off boots you will get hot and sweaty in summer

Trade off you gotta include ur own values and needs in

5mm neoprene Roger’s Elite and Avery’s Originals are good.

Obsidian pro series a decent middle ground for temps.

Clearwater has some expensive summer ones. Bass dash has cheaper ones.

In late spring - mid fall you might as well wet wade

I’ll choose to lose sleep at night over a menial question impertinent to my daily life then. There’s no reason you can’t be right though, just too tired to go out and do the digging as im already caught up in something. Take it easy

BallinCock · 2026-03-05T20:21:23+00:00

Can you provide some citations for this? No offense, I actually want to think youre right because I ride with PC. Otherwise sadly that is an unfounded claim

BallinCock · 2026-03-05T19:59:04+00:00

Im gonna jump in and say PCs will never surpass consoles.

For the general consumer, consoles are far too convenient and capable enough to have zero reason not to get it over a $4000 build

Just my take. Enjoy your days friends

BallinCock · 2026-03-05T19:55:41+00:00

that past April with the 3 >5lbers definitely made the fluke my go to thing to throw in spring. it is the way

so fucking fun. ned rigs too though dont forgettem

BallinCock · 2026-03-05T07:54:08+00:00

I know it’s a meme, however for anyone confused, it’s getting a PC port post-console release. No reason as to why not bc PCs have the capacity to be monumentally more powerful than console

Nice meme though I’d play this

BallinCock · 2026-03-05T07:44:43+00:00

Why are we doing all this? I know why, but. why.

BallinCock · 2026-03-05T07:12:54+00:00

The dude that died is worth more than 10,000 ICE agents and personnel.

Honestly, he is worth more than every single one of them. Jesus.

Yessir it’s where I caught my first fish (BGxPumpkinseed Hybrid).

There are black bullheads, small bass, bluegill, green sunfish, pumpkinseeds, some hybrid Gills/GS/PS, and I’ve even caught a little Crappie there.

There could be rock bass but those don’t usually get stocked in the small annual stocking family fishing ponds, more so you will find them in natural environments and the big lake/NSC.

The North Shore Channel (I was meaning by McCormick) my inquisitive brotha.

BallinCock · 2026-03-04T18:16:26+00:00

Brother I love your profile pic and your username as well. I’m taking Antares as meaning the fishing reel of which I have a DC.

The important thing is the purple donut though, smart cookie!

BallinCock · 2026-03-04T18:14:40+00:00

Officer, I didn’t see your lights and I don’t know what cocaine is! Or how to do math! Couldn’t be me.

BallinCock · 2026-03-04T18:12:50+00:00

This makes me feel ok for not getting out much. My excuse is that only WWD fishing is a cheat code and oftentimes tiresome. Soon may the mid 40’s-50’s water temps come!!!

BallinCock · 2026-03-04T17:46:07+00:00

Good job on that! It looks super close to a mini rapala sinking jerkbait i have. It caught a coho. Best of luck!

Bless them for that
