Hey gang,
Some of you may know that I recently moved to MI and this is my first season on Clair. I have never seen anything like I've seen here this summer when it comes to boats literally stacked up on a particular spot. I remember in the spring when the walleye were out in front of Gino's and there were at 300 boats out there.
I like catching fish as much as the next guy but I don't feel comfortable fishing in a pack. Fishing to me is a means to get away from it all. I sit in enough traffic on 75S every moring on my way to work and I don't want to fish in traffic on my weekends.
I'm trying to figure out WHY everyone fishes like this.
Is it because
a.) that's where all the fish are and if you want to catch them you have to muscle your way into the mob.
b.) St. Clair is so big that lazy people don't want to explore the lake and find there own fish.
I read there was walleye at B bouy. I went there and there was 20 boats stacked on B bouy so I fished about 200 yards away and caught nothing.
Saturday I went to the North channel and there was a group of about 30 boats stacked up in the channel. I went abouit 1/2 mile further up the channel to marker 19 and caught nothing.
What are my options? Do I keep hunting and pray that I stumble across my own fish or do I change my name to Ben Trodder and join the masses?
