Talk:Fox Island

Did you know nomination
I have come up with a brilliant strategy that may allow me to actually do this on my phone. Let's see if it works. jp×g 20:04, 6 September 2021 (UTC)

Okay, my strategy did work, but editing on my phone is a huge pain in the ass anyway, so I will just wait until I get home. jp×g 20:08, 6 September 2021 (UTC)

Found https://meanderingmichiganhistory.weebly.com/lake-sturgeon-and-the-detroit-river---historic-partners.html -- probbo not RS in its own right but does mention "A Detroit Free Press story dated July 12, 1903, revealed the scope of the sturgeon fisheries in the Detroit River. In 1903, many fishermen named Fox Island, a small wooded island near the southern tip of Grosse Ile and the northern end of Bois Blanc, about a mile up the Detroit River from Sugar Island, the best sturgeon fishery in the United States.".

Well golly if only I could go read the free press articles from 1903. Well golly if only I knew the exact month and day.... jp×g🗯️ 17:38, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
