Pretty cool video of gizzard shad schooling apparently filmed with a GoPro camera in a harbor near Chicago. I've often wondered why muskie don't wander down further south from Green Bay - especially considering there are baitfish present like this. Is it simply that noone is fishing for them in the southern portion of Lake Michigan? Anyone ever caught one down there? Thoughts?

They are in many lakes and rivers here, but do not know anyone that has tried on Lower Michigan for skis. I have also believe they have to be in there.

With all the salmon trollers you would expect them to be caught more frequently. I was also told that shad on the south end of the lake would not sustain salmonoids. They are not abundant enough.
