FISHING CONDITIONS ON LAKES CADILLAC AND MITCHELL
FROM PILGRIM VILLAGE FISHING SHOP
SUNDAY, AUGUST 29, 2010
Either the fish have decided to cooperate or our fishermen have improved their skills. Warm days and cool nights has made conditions perfect. Water temperatures are slowly falling. The panfish and predators are back on the bite.
The numbers of anglers on Lakes Mitchell and Cadillac are decreasing. Many are turning their attention to catching salmon on the Manistee River, Pier fishing or Great lakes charters. Another loss comes from the early goose season starting September lst.
Crappies are still hitting off the City Dock on Lake Cadillac. Best catches and best size are being caught after dark, the later the better. Gills and sunfish are returning to shallower 6 - 8 foot depths on both lakes. Bobber fish with cricket, leafworms or waxworms. Smaller baits are working best. Don't sit, keep moving until you find them.
The pike and bass have returned. No hot spot, neither lake is better then the other. Spinner baits are still the local favorite. However, fatter crank baits are good. Many report small bluegills in the fish they clean. Match the hatch!
Andrew and Emily Brands are teachng their Chuck and Carson Carlington filled their stringer
Father Lane how to fish. No strangers to Lakes with bass, pike and rock bass. A great day.
Cadillac and Mitchell, they released another big
pike.
Visiting Cadillac, Bob Wilson caught a 10 inch,
12 oz. bluegill.
MANISTEE RIVER
Salmon fishing and salmon catching has begun. A few are alreadey at Tippy Dam. Better numbers are at the Pine and Bear Creek areas.
Pier fishing at Manistee or Frankfort is worth while. Start before day break.
Robert Galloup caught his King Salmon on the Manistee Pier fisherman, Vern Petroelje caught 4 but could only hold
River--33 1/2 inches, 12.8 pounds. up 2. Great catch.
Come to the Pilgrim Village Fishing Shop for all your salmon needs.
