The sun came out and the wind calmed down today and made for some great fishing around Beaver Island. Steve got me into a bunch of large smallmouth and my first carp. The Beaver Island smallmouth fishery is only now recovering its once prolific status. Years of cormorant population growth and overfishing had a negative impact on the quality of smallmouth found here. So we feel that we have to say, though we know that most people reading this don’t need to hear it, please practice catch and release angling on Beaver Island. Much more to come from Beaver Island this week including some video.
