Detroit River fish taste better, safe to eat says Windsor Star

[Dan Wesson]

How's the perch fishing on the Detroit side of the island?

It used to be great. We would catch two at a time on spreaders fishing off the swimming piers that used to be by the beach.Then snagging carp at the inlet by the cop yard west of the bridge and catching sheephead on the canadian side. Heavy poles, big sinkers and cow bells. Those were the days my friend. Oh and how did we get there? DSR Bus.

Being on the Island those days was like not having a care in the world.
