Move over and make room for this lady...just wanted to say howdy and to introduce myself. I live in Southeast Michigan in the Detroit Metro area. As you know, this area is surrounded by water so there are literally fishin' opportunities everywhere. I've been fishing most of my life and hope to be doing more of it this year since I'm now "retired". I'm watching the Detroit River action very closely so I can catch the silver (white) bass run that should be starting in 2-4 weeks. We had a nasty cold snap a couple of weeks ago so the river is still jammed up with ice in spots so it's going to take a bit longer than usual for the river to reach the magic 55 degrees. Had to give up the boat last year due to physical issues but plan on doing a lot of shore fishing, which I enjoy just as much! I'll be seeing everyone around...
