Just curious if anyone has fished this area of lake Superior. We have rented

a house for a week second week of June on Huron Bay and plan to get a 72hour

license and see how fishing is in Huron bay and some of the tributaries.

Slate river is only a 1/4 mile up the road from house we rented. Silver River

is 1 mile back. Really looking forward to this get away.

Thanks, really looking forward to getting away again in the UP, love it up there. Wife has even talked that we should relocate up there. That was until I mentioned what the job market was like.

Jim43,

I have never fished Huron Bay but you should have a good time. Are you going out on a guided boat or a Do it yourself? If you are doing it by your self, BE CAREFUL as the "Big Pond" as we call it in the UP can change rapidly and can get very dangerous. I fish often out of Black River Harbor in Gogebic county there have been times where 6-8 footers can build literally in minutes. I always keep a compass with me as if the fog rolls in and you lose a battery or 2 it will be very difficult to find your way home.

We are do it yourself kind of fishing. Have Fished Lake Superior More

times then I can count. We know all there is about the fickle weather out

there. Trickiest fishing on the big lake is along the MN northshore. Safe

harbors are far and few between. Huron Bay is more like mini lake itself.

Take a look at google maps and you will see it is at the most 1 mile wide,

and at least 10 miles long. Its the next bay over east from Keweenaw Bay.

We fish with 2 GPS and have never stayed out in fog. We move in right away.

I'm going to repost this topic as I am heading there this summer for a week. Is there good fishing in Huron Bay? Any smallmouth around? I have not heard much about this area and can't find much on it. Please let me know if it is worth bringing my boat up there or not. Thanks

Bringing this topic back up to see if I can get any responses. I am leaving on Vacation on Friday and we are staying on Huron Bay. Anyone have any fishing information about this area. What species can I expect to catch in the bay? Any information would be great

      As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…

      I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...

      Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?

      I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.

      You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.

      Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.

      The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there.  About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.

      It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway.  Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work.  You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water.  When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.

      We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.

      I've been out on the flats. It's like being on a different planet
