Winter Pike Fishing at The Portland Dam / Grand River Michigan Pike Fishing March 2020
In this episode I am fishing on the Grand River at The Portland Dam in Portland Michigan, Portland is the town of 2 rivers and in town the Looking Glass. River Meets up with the Grand River and downstream from that junction is the Portland Dam. The Portland Dam is known for smallmouth bass, Walleye and Pike fishing. On this day I had a bucket of shiners and started off fishing with shiners under a bobber but couldn’t get it to stay in the sweet spot so I started fishing them right on the bottom. I also tossed a variety of lures but only caught the pike on live bait. I met James there who was having some luck with a perch husky jerk. I like to use my steelhead rod for live bait fishing because it has lots of play for fighting fish on light line but plenty of backbone and it makes hooklets easy. Also its fun to fight fish on a long light rod!
It was great weather for late winter river fishing in Michigan. You may notice I have put out a lot of pike videos recently and the reason for that is pike are still relatively active hunters through out the winter.

Reel Michigan Anglers is a personal passion and my gift to fellow fisherman. In the future I hope to do more informational fishing videos and cover different types of fishing all across the great state of Michigan. My goal, time permitting is to fish as many different bodies of water for as many different fish species as I can get try hands on. I am a lansing michigan resident working towards transferring to MSU for Fisheries and wildlife. My goal is to expand operations and bring more educational and entertaining fishing videos to my subscribers. In the meantime you can count on me for the occasional video outlining the the techniques and areas I fish for Bass, Pike, Walleye, Steelhead, Salmon, Trout, Carp, Suckers, Catfish and Panfish ect. You can see additional videos and other fun fishing related info on my facebook page https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?... I Wouldn't be the fisherman I am today without other fisherman who taught me the things I know and I am a firm believer that the sport and conservation of fishing in Michigan is better when we share it with one another. Wether your trying to lean a new spot to fish, a new crank bait to try, advise on what fishing rod to use, what fishing line to use, what color spinner a coho likes, what color jig a steelhead prefers, how to rig live bait, match the hatch, understand fish migration, the effects of barometric pressure or any other aspect of fishing the best way to learn is from other fisherman. That combined with trial and error and pure time spent on the water is the key to improving your fishing game. The better you get the more fun it is and the more we share the fun with others the more future generations will benefit from it.
