It’s time-consuming and aggravating,” Winowiecki said, noting complex tribal issues are part of the equation. The list of issues facing MCBA members is long from working with Michigan Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) officials to a sometimes contentious relationship with federal wildlife officials and the five Native American tribes which hold great sway over fishing rights on more than 13 million acres in the state. “It’ll never be solved – there’ll just be more coming down the road,” said Bill Winowiecki, vice-president of the Michigan Charter Boat Association (MCBA.) “There’s always something else.” The same thing can be said of charter fishing industry officials and leaders on all the Great Lakes: the pressure is on, and a handful of captains on the lakes work hard to ensure a satisfactory future for the lakes, the fisheries and those who count on them for a living and for recreation.Īnd it’s a never-ending battle for those few. “We’re going to have to work hard for them,” he advised. I fished with long-time charter captain Larry Jones on upstate New York’s Lake Chautauqua two weeks ago as a big low-pressure system and cold front moved in.
