Yes, the season is over for the most part. Except, in Indiana and Michigan that is. Yes, we have summer run steelies hear in the Great Lakes. They average 8-10pounds and fight like hell. When the word gets out that the run is in, I'll do my damest to escape myself. The biggest fish I've seen was pushing 20 and I've hooked a few 15+ fish. Short sleeve shirts, hot fish, and picnics, Can't beat that!
