Consider Local Overnight Fishing Trips
Rochester Hills, Mi - For years I've suffered the same frustrations that, no doubt, plague many weekend anglers, namely, disappointing results from trying to do too much in a short amount of time. The routine is usually the same.
- Spend all week anticipating the Saturday morning trip
- Up a little late Friday night getting the equipment just perfect
- Off to bed a little late but still can't sleep thinking about the trip
- Wake up early enough Saturday morning to make the 50 mile plus trip and still take advantage of the early morning bite in my favorite spot
