Kayak Fishing for Walleye On The Detroit River

Kayak Fishing for Walleye On The Detroit River

The beginning of April is time for the walleye run on the Detroit River. With the 2003 spawn of walleye now hitting 13 years old, you have a good chance to land a true trophy. Early catches by power boaters show the truth of that theory. Hopefully, the weather will cooperate, and the wind and rain won’t keep kayak anglers off the water. I see many questions about the current and whether a kayak is safe to get out on the ...

Detroit Pizza Tour - Best Pizzas in Metro Detroit

Detroit Pizza Tour – Best Pizzas in Metro Detroit

Inspired by a story on the best pizzas in metro Detroit, I have landed on a noble goal: get an accurate education in Detroit pizza. In my research on Detroit pizza, I was pleased to discover that Detroit is considered by James Beard Award-winning food journalist Alan Richman to be the 3rd best pizza city in the nation. Just behind New York and San Fran, and perhaps surprisingly (though not to me) above #4 Chicago. Little known to Detroit dwellers ...

It’s not uncommon to see large groups of boats in the open water doing ...

More Great Corned Beef Sandwiches in Detroit

More Great Corned Beef Sandwiches in Detroit

It was probably foolhardy to attempt a list of only five great metro Detroit corned beef sandwiches. We headlined the list “great” not “best” — because, as we acknowledged in the introduction, metro Detroit is full of places serving terrific versions of this indulgent sandwich. Nevertheless, so many readers wrote to rave about their own favorite places that we’re breaking with tradition and offering a second list. It’s only five more, so it still might not include your favorite brunch, diner or ...

Fries topped with goodies other than poutine are available all over metro Detroit, from Greek feta and lemon to a simple dusting of rosemary and sea salt. For five great topped fries big enough ...

Things to Do in Northern Michigan in Summer

Things to Do in Northern Michigan in Summer

When you hear Michigan, you probably think Detroit is not your first pick for a summer vacation spot. Drive North (and West at a point) as far as you can, and you’ve hit Northern Michigan, a whole other world within the state. My family grew up spending one week every August in Northern Michigan, particularly in Leland, Lelanau (fish town), and Northport. My parents loved the retreat this spot provided, and we now have a place up there. I looked ...
