Designed by
Browserkings.com
For centuries man has known about the
effects of the moon on fish and wildlife
activity. Through this method, Lunar Hunt
& Fish accurately determines the best
times of the day to hunt and fish, greatly
increasing your chances of success.
Whether going hunting or fishing locally
or planning an out of state trip in the
future, you can easily determine the best
daily times for any location in the US.
It’s simple! Either use the current phone
location, or enter the zip code for the
location you are planning to hunt or fish.
Next select the range of dates for your
trip. Lunar Hunt & Fish will then calculate
the best possible times to catch that
“lunker” bass or locate that deer for your
trophy wall.

A Testimonial From the
Owners of Cattlemen’s
RV Park in Okeechobee, Florida.
“An RV customer from Michigan suggested we place
an Index Ad in the 2014 March issue of the Fish &
Game Finder. So we did. As the months went by we
started receiving calls from Michigan and other
northern states. In November 2014 an RVer from Flint
came down. He liked our park and rented a site
for twelve months.
Asking how he
found out about us,
he said he picked
up a copy of the
Fish & Game
Finder along with
one of our
brochures at the
magazine’s booth
at the Birch Run
show. We thank the
magazine for the
results. We are now
steady advertisers
with the Fish &
Game Finder.”

Crappie and Panfish bite was still going strong at

Sterling State Park in 20-25 foot of water was
also a Hot Spot for Walleye. Try trolling 1 to
1 ½ MPH and fishing 1 to 2 oz. Bottom
Bouncers. Purple and anti-Freeze were
really Hot Colors. Husky Jerks, Clowns, White
Knight, and Barbie were also Hot Producers along
with Blade Baits. There are lots of Walleyes out
there again this year. Looks like another
OUTSTANDING SEASON of Walleye Fishing.
Some nice catches of Yellow Perch were also

Manistique Lake and South Manistique
Lake. Curtis is located on South
Manistique Lake about a half a mile
south of Big Manistique Lake, just
north of US 2. Big Manistique Lake is
the largest of the three. The lakes are
teaming with a wide variety of fish.
Bluegill, perch, walleye, bass, pike and
musky are there for the tempting.
Traditionally, South Manistique Lake
is the hotspot with lots of musky,
largemouth and smallmouth bass,
walleye, pike and perch. However, Big
Manistique Lake has a great
reputation as well and gives up big pike,
walleye and perch. This friendly
lakeside town is less than an hour
northwest of the Mackinac Bridge; it
is a really great place to visit with your
pals or family.
