			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Detroit is known for its history with automobiles. It was here that Henry Ford established the Ford Company and became one of the world’s richest men. He is also known for a mentality or philosophy called “Fordism”. He stressed the mass production of low cost automobiles. Today, Ford is a household name and it is easy to spot a vehicle carrying that name and there’s a chance that you have owned one yourself at one point or the other. Watch Football would be such a mistake (especially for football fans) to miss a Detroit Lions game. A trip to the downtown Detroit to visit the Ford Field would be a treat whether you are a football fan or not. Even if you are someone that doesn’t understand the game, the mere roar of the thousands of fans would get your juices started.</p>
<p>Going to Detroit but want a little feel of Vegas? Then dropping by the MGM Grand Casino would be a great idea. At the MGM Grand Detroit, you not only have the chance to win money, but you also could choose to be pampered at their classy spa, dine in one of their world-class restaurants, or simply relax in your room and enjoy room service. As a child, a lot of us have wanted to go to the Zoo at one point or another. Most kids are amazed and curious about the animals they always see on TV. Seeing a gorilla eat could be one of the most fascinating things a kid would ever experience. If you have kids or simply love animals, the Detroit Zoo has an array of wildlife and there are always a lot of events that are held there. Elephants, monkeys, tigers, lions, you name it.</p>
<p>If you feel like you want to go to cultured events then the Detroit Opera House has a lot to offer. You are almost sure to catch a Michigan Opera Theater production there. It was designed by the same guy that designed the Fillmore Detroit and the Fox Theater. Imagine having a place in one of its 2,700 seats and enjoying the production of your choice. Whatever it is you are into, Detroit really has a lot to offer you. Whether you choose to go with friends, family, or by yourself, you are bound to find something that would fit the occasion or your intention. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Walleye is one of the most popular fresh water species for eating. A shore lunch featuring walleye is a very difficult meal to beat, no matter what type of food it may be compared to. Walleye are easy to catch in the Detroit River if you know a bit about the walleye. Walleye will usually attempt to stay deep in the water, so be sure that the jigs you are using have enough of a  weight of some type to sink into the water; and the jigs are a bit colorful so the walleye will be sure to see them. Also, another tip is to be sure to use jigs that won&#8217;t swivel or twist too much.</p>
<p>A good tip to remember with your lure or jig is that &#8220;if you don&#8217;t feel it on the bottom&#8221; you aren&#8217;t going to catch that walleye. However, when it comes to your boat, use a trolling motor, and if possible go into the wind or the river&#8217;s current. This decreases the noise as well. You don&#8217;t have to have a huge engine or fast boat to catch those walleye in the Detroit River.</p>
<p>Of course, you have to have patience and give the walleye time to get adjusted to the jig or lure being on the bottom. As they get used to the jig they will then of course presume it is food and therefore attempt to eat it. When this happens and you feel that initial tug, don&#8217;t yank your rod; instead slowly reel and then when you know the walleye is virtually trying to swim away from you and the boat, it is hooked. This is the time to reel it in.</p>
<p>There are a variety of tips for various times of year too. In these situations, fishing in the Detroit River for walleye is usually best in the early months of spring. One tip that has proven successful too is the temperature of the surface water. If the water is less than fifty degrees the walleye seem to like body bait rather than stick bait. However, once the water temperature does change and get warmer, the walleye like the lures better as bait. So, in all fairness this is a good tip to keep in mind as well. When the conditions are set just right, it is possible to catch literally dozens of huge, adult walleyes in a single day. Although keeping a limit on what an individual catches is a good idea too.</p>
<p>Amazingly, for many fish anglers the best tips and secrets are learned while fishing for walleye. Some people think it&#8217;s from experience while others disagree. Tips sometimes have to be based on the surrounding area and where exactly the walleye are capable of jumping on a fat night crawler. Remember they are carnivores and this is enticing to them. In addition to these tips and strategies, an avid walleye angler can find several different web sites that are detailed in walleye fishing.</p>
