Title: Sanford lake
Post by: gmetime24 on May 01, 2013, 12:06:13 PM
I put in about 8 hours of fishing the last couple days out on Sanford lake. Water clarity is horrible and the best visibility I found was maybe 6 inches, it's a muddy mess. Water temps are 55-60 on the main lake and 60-64 in the cuts. We caught 4 largies and one 18inch smallie. LM ran between 14-16 inches. Caught them on square bills and swimbaits. Fish are relating to the cuts and the main river channel near the cuts

My 20th high school reunion for Midland HS is this year.  Considering actually going to one this year.  Maybe could bum a ride in your boat and make an outing out of it?

Ended up fishing wixom from 4-8 bite was slow. Got a small limit on a few grass flats, spinnerbait and square bill. Fished creek channels mostly and couldnt get a bite despite my graph lighting up....
