Spent the day bass fishing... from my boat.... in December! And we did pretty good. Small lake north of GR. Temp was 41-42 degrees. All fish came off the drop off in about 12-18 FOW. Shakey heads, darters, jigs, and some blades all took fish. Biggest went about 3.5 but we caught a total of 34 fish with many in the 2-3 pound class.
What a blast! Catching fish in December from your own boat IN MICHIGAN rocks!!
I enjoyed similar bassin on the Kalamazoo yesterday! The smallies weren't really biting but I caught 25+ keeper largies! Best ones were around 3 as well. This was a good way to end the year and hopefully makes winter feel shorter!
Heck, no ice next Monday and I'll be out again! I can put my boat in storage any time I want so no rush for me.
WOW, green fish nonetheless! Congrats guys.
Nice fish. I too made it out Monday with a new fishing buddy. We hit Muskkegon, and caught quite a few smallies. We did manage 2 green bass as well. Sadly though, nothing was over the 2# range. So there are no pictures.
Mike, if you can wait until the afternoon, we can hit Muskegon. I can be on the road by 3. That leaves about 4 hours to fish. Your call. Let me know.
The only time I ever caught a bass in December was through a hole in the ice! Nice job on the largies!
We're going back to that same lake this Monday... no matter the weather!
Mike, if you want to join us after work let me know... the lake isn't far from where you work.
Oh, I know exactly where it's at. My first trip there gave me my biggest largemouth ever. I might drive over there after work. I will let you know.
Nice
