"Kayak" and "Lake Michigan" don't belong in the same sentence! Better were a life jacket so the Coast Gaurd can find your body and not spend days and weeks of searching. Ever try golfing?...Lot of fun and safer too. Be safe and don't become a statistic.
Mostly 2.5" Fin-S minnow imitators on a 1/32 ox jig. Look up my "A Kayak Covered with Jumbo Perch Poop" video. You can see them better in that video.
Yes, Navy Pier all winter long is good for perch fishing right from the pier. I got out twice from 95th St this November and did well - but the perch were 2 miles from shore. There's 3 months I haven't been on Lake Michigan - Dec, Jan and Feb. I hope to do it this winter, but all times either in a harbor or within the breakwalls around Navy Pier. You won't catch me out on the open lake until spring.
You should be alright if you stay in the harbors or within the breakwalls. I'd be afraid to take it on the open lake. If the water is cold, you should be in a wetsuit, just in case. You can die quickly in the icy water.
nice drum at the end! i'm gonna send you a pick of the cam set up...it's easier than trying to explain it...it's not complicated at all. Great vid man!
nice mccormick place perch right by the big boat park by the guard shack near the front of burnham harbor by 31st and lakeshore drive take 31st to lake shore drive and i got a new ruler that dont skip inch 11 even though those were nice perch
