week from saturday ... headin down to geist res. near indy.
can't wait... probably hit up around my parents the weekend after over easter too....
the time draws nigh!
theres open water with walleye and pike so go fishing its that simple, Ive been out twice in the last week just watch for chunks of ice and run slow if your around some but theres alot of open water in st clair river, lk st clair, det river and erie.
you can launch in alganac marine city and erie metro and Im sure theres other places to launch.
Kent was half open yesterday. will check tomrrow. should be open to the east launch. water is real low..
Whitmore wasn't open yet today when I went by, but the ice has turned that color where it won't be long.
Nichewah in South Lyon, and Sandy Bottom are melting around the edges.
I saw some scaup on Nichewah bottoms up in the little open water that there was.
It won't be long now!
I'm hoping that the Detroit River will warm up enough for Easter break that I can go down there and try for some spawining Walleye.
(If it's sacreligeous to speak of Walleye on a Bass forum I apologize).
Not that I'm one to brag, but I'm a teacher and next week is spring break!! Better yet, I live in Indiana!
Sanford lake is open near the tree farm (good pike/musky area) if you know where that is. 2 private launches have open water if you can get permission. DNR launch is all iced in still, old erskines launch on water rd should have open water to launch next couple days.
correction! Sanford lake is alreadt open at the water rd launch.
finishing up on rod/reel(s) and "tackle box" organizing. have started a front deck extension so hoping in the next couple weeks get this wraped up for 1st outing of year. probably to hit bellville lake. lets hope weather temps going in the right direction..
I'm loving this 50 degree weather here right now....Next week if this weather holds i'm gonna be out by ford lake.I got too much stuff to do around the house this weekend.
I drove by Portage Lake and it has a lot of open water.
Woodland in Brighton though didn't have as much.
Sitting here in Alabama and it got up to 84 today and that's north Alabama. Went to Big Bob Gibson's in Decatur yesterday for barbecue and afterwards talked to some bass guys at one of the ramps on the Tennessee River and he said that the bucks are just coming up in the shallows. He was amazed that we have a closed season for bass. Said he never heard of a closed season for bass. He was running a Stratos and has been fishing tournaments all winter on the Tennessee. Went to the Bass Pro in Nashville last Thursday. Nice store set up just like Auburn Hills though. Couple of pros in the parking lot with their rigs. Looked like FLW guys. One had his name on the boat but didn't recognize it. Think it was Clay Dryer or Dyer. Went to my favorite bass shop here in Athens, West End. It's a place with a 40 foot aisle of nothing but Lucky Crafts. Never been in a place that had this king of selection. Much more than Bass Pro or Cabllas.
