Well back from my trip to the UP. We stayed in a remote off grid cabin near cedar river mi. The whole place ran on solar power and propane generators. It was a beautiful place. The cedar river ran right behind the cabin giving us access to walk and wadded the river. The guy said they had a drought going on and the river was very low which it about 3-4 foot low easy judging from the bank. It was super rocking and with our water shoes we twisted ankles a few times over the week walking up and down the river. . The first day we walked to the west of the cabin and found a really nice deep hole. About 300 yards down in between two little islands that had a small rapids going into. We did good there as my brother caught 8 rock bass, 3 smallies and a pike out of ther and me and my brother in law got a small mouth and rock bass. Also the river was just loaded with crayfish it was insane the size and number of them we saw.
The next day it rained a little the night before (it rained 3 of the days we were there mostly at night) so the river came up a little and it was a bit deeper in the hole to the west we didnt have much luck. There we did walk to the east a little that day and caught a few here and there. Some of the spots we were crossing were barely at our shins and may places barely to our knees.
The rest of the trip me and my brother and law walked several times east on day over 2 miles and found a nice rapid with some deep wholes caught my self a few nice small mouths. And another day got some more rock bass and had a few small trout coming from under rocks to hit the spinner as it went by. We learned the fish didnt need super deep wholes to hide and found several spots we thought were empty that we ran a spinner through and caught fish.
We did end up driving down the road to the mouth of the river in to lake michigan we fished at the marina there and didnt have any luck. But I did have a huge hit on my 3/4 oz spoon that about ripped my rod from my hand. We were told there was big pike in that are.
We also had our charter that got moved to a different day cause of weather it was a rough day and we only caught 2 lake trout my brother in law got a nice 23 inch on and I caught a tiny 12 in trout. I did have a big fish on the line that spit the hook after a few large head shakes at the surface.
It was an amazing trip and I want to go back again the decor and cabin were beautiful as well.
Here are a few pics of the inside of the cabin
