If you come from fishing smaller lakes, be prepared for a lot more chop out on Lake Michigan. We had 3-4 ft so it wasnโt horrible. But it took some getting used to.

Fishing isnโt always catching. Be patient and if you donโt catch fish the first time try again. So worth the wait and a wonderful sport.
