i'll try to locate some charts but the river is pretty safe as long as you treat her with respect .
no drift socks , the current is kinda fast . a trolling motor is used to help you keep your position .
forget fishing the ambasitor bridge , swift current there .
you will need to drift the channels by the factories and freightor docks . best areas are ;
behind the detroit marine termanals docks , cross streets nearest the location are fort and green streets.
the s.w. corner of the rouge river outlet , this is the begining of a streach that runs past great lakes steel to mud island , alwawys good for a lot of good sized eaters . troll/drift downriver bottom jigging or hand-lineing about 40-50 feet from shore .
south of mud island is the B.A.S.F. (Wyndotte chemicals ) plant . it's channel is along the steel breakwall , (look for the big red indian ) same as the detroit city area , drift and jig .
the trenton channel , south of the "free bridge" (southern end of the detroit river ) trophy eyes there .
there's a couple local baitstore that can give you current fishing conditions , i'll post there addresses and phone numbers later this afternoon , along with additional information .
the wife wants to use the computer for a bit . talk to you real soon.
