it is not that bad , I have a 16 foot Smoker Craft canoe with transom , plus 2 hp Mariner , I would get there faster , But when I speak with someone about putting my smoker in Lake Michigan , they are saying ooo are you crazy it is too dangerous. I have to try it ,... on lake michigan ,,,
My original plan was to use a canoe on LM and bought one and added a trolling motor for power. I realized my plans were suicidal, sold the canoe and decided to do it via kayak. You are in big trouble out there if your canoe swamps. A wetsuit and waterproof marine radio are a must. A GPS is near essential too.
I'm not sure of your question. If it's how long I've been kayaking - since 2006. If it's how long to the fishing spot, it's 3 miles from shore and about 45 minutes of straight paddling to get out there.

damn... thats a long way paddle!

Only 45 minutes one way. It's not bad unless there's a strong wind is in my face on the way back. Then 45 can turn into 2 hours plus.

-- I won't be more than 1 mile from shore ... but wet suit I have ...
Do you catch limit every time you lunch ...

No, not a limit every time out, but I do real well by having a good knowledge of perch and following the current fishing reports.

Those were some nice perch man! Were they all caught on minnows?
Fattyfatfatfat92 2 years ago
Yes, small and medium minnows. I wanted to crack out the artificials and experiment, but the wind was picking up and I was 3 miles from shore.
