Big Buck Night, put on by Michigan Out-Of-Doors television, is always one of the hits of the annual Outdoorama sports show.

The final day of Michigan’s season was a perfect morning for duck hunting, dark and foggy with a stiff wind. After we’d set up a couple dozen duck decoys and twice that many full bodied goose dekes, we hunkered down.

Michigan’s Lake St. Clair is a fantastic fishery for smallmouth bass, muskies and walleyes, but what you hear less about is the lake’s panfish angling. It can be just as outstanding as the predator fishing.
