| Purple Skeeter,
I'll be going up to Bay De Noc this fall. I scheduled my vacation for the 2nd till the 9 th of Nov for just that purpose, I'll be up there for atleast some of those days.
I'd love to tag along with you, I'll help costs or what ever. I'm pretty familiar with the area and have fished it on and off since being stationed up there in the Air Force in the '80's.
I live in the Sheboygan area, feel free to give me a call, my wife is always looking for ways to get me out of the house so no need for a kitchen pass.
Thanks for posting

Location: McFarland, WI | October 27-Nov 2 is the week long run. Other days depend on weather, action, and the bite on inland lakes.

| My first trip is October 22-27 and then October 30-Nov 3.
A couple of years ago, I made a post showing how to add LED lights to Church boards... anyone need the instructions again.

Location: Waukesha Wisconsin | Historically, the later it get the less traffic. The colder it gets the less traffic. Many get into hunting and put away their boats.
BUT, at least for me. I think I see a resurgence of boats and traffic after thanksgiving that I didn't see in previous years. That doesn't mean that it is crowded in late November just more boats. I'd call it crowded around holloween though. |

Location: Freedom, WI | The best time to fish is anytime in December before ice-up. November ain't bad either. I'll be up there every weekend from late October until ice-up and hopefully some of the weekdays too. As usual I'll be staying at the Terrace and will be willing to share info. I can share fishing hotspots, but I was told to keep quiet about the best place for pizza.  |

| Best pizza=The Saloon. |

| We stay at Bayview, the owners have treated us very well over the years. Breakfast Delora's or Delona's next door (walking distance in wind and snow). Dinner, pizza delivery if we can make it in by 1 am Eastern time. The McD's has seen us plenty times at 3-4 am. I'm always surprised at how nice they are to make us Big Macs at this hour in the morning.
After a 4 day weekend I usually become nocturnal. |

Main st. pizza is good too. I put it at a second behind the Saloon.
PS, never saw the pancake house. Of course, I try to stay out of Escanaba in the fall unless I'm heading to Hereford and hops or the boat landing.
Anyone hear of any reports from up there yet? Any day now, any day and it should start. |

| Cedar river is happening right now based on the Charter reports, any day now they should be fighting with each other and b&*$@ing about all the people like last year.  |
|

| Cedar river has been hot since august. The big girls should start showing up soon I hope. Had some awesome trips in September. lots of 23-27 inch fish. Lower bay is probably just as good right now. Might have to try that. since perch haven't been cooperating on bago this last week. |
|
| |
|
| I bet Menominee is going now too. Anywhere theres walleyes on the bay ther all putting on the feed bag. It's just pick your spot you like and have at it!!!! |

Location: Waukesha Wisconsin | Sounds good. I'll contact you.
I believe that you are legal as long as you stay a certain distance to shore. Memory forbids me from remembering that distance. I believe it was something like 5 miles.
I have also received positive reports. Looking forward to sharing notes. |
