For The Best Experience You Will Need A Good Michigan Fishing Guide

By Essie Osborn


There are many different types of fish angling that one can enjoy. In the summer months normal angling off the banks of a river or lake as well as fly fishing is very relaxing. Bow catches are another type that is very enjoyable. Whichever forms you prefer always refer to the Michigan fishing guide booklets.

Bowfishing is done from the inside of a boat using specialized archery equipment. A line is mounted to the bow and when fired the barbed arrow impales the fish. The most common fresh water fish hunted this way are all types of carp, paddlefish, and alligator gar.

For residents the yearly fee is now $26.00 and if you are a non-resident the price will be $76.00. Any retired person of 65 years or older who would like to apply, their fees will be $11.00. If however you are 17 years or younger you will still need to purchase a licence but the fees will be for free. If you are unsure one can always go to their webpage.

Having the correct equipment is crucial. One item of clothing that is a necessity is a thick jacket. The Predator jacket not only keeps you very warm but also floats. Bibs are also worn to keep legs dry and warm. Ice chisel are needed to cut open the ice. A universal tow bar will come in handy for pulling your portable shelters into that prefect spot. These can be fitted behind any ATV or snowmobiles.

It is believed that every year about two million residents as well as non-residents use this form of recreation. These are the highest as well as the largest value use of the fishing resources. The economy provides more than 15 000 jobs and brings in more than $2 million a year. In order for the habitat to be cared for as well as the environment and population of these fish they need to promote the use of these resources. The DNR Fisheries division is hard as work to make this whole experience a unique one for all to enjoy.

Catching fish during the day can be very tiring for the eyes. Concentrating on the glare of the water for so long is not healthy for anyone. Polarized glasses are very helpful to prevent this. The glare is eliminated so it is easier to see below the water line. They come in different tints and colors which help when looking into different shades of water. Night time these are not necessary as a normal light that is made to shine only into the water is sufficient.

Boats are more commonly used although it can be done from the banks of the lakes. Canoes or any flat bottom boats are used in shallow waters. The larger boats can accommodate more people. Many are now customized with raised shooting platforms as well as generators for those that like night time angling.

Aiming is very difficult as the refraction of the water distorts where the target might be. If one is to aim at the target itself it will most probably be a miss. Many tend to aim well below so as to compensate. There is a saying that goes "when in doubt, aim low, then aim lower". The most common salt water fish is the southern stingray, barracuda and bull shark to name just a few. Whatever your preference is, always follow the fishing guides, these are there to ensure that rules and regulations are followed.
