I got out twice on LSC. Friday was cloudy water and jerkbaits reigned supreme. Sunday was dropshot all day. Both awesome days on the mile roads with good company!
Sunday at a park off anchor bay I was throwing a lipless albino craw for bass and pulled out two 25 inch musky and a 36 inch pike. No bass. Sunday got a boat out on Stony Creek lake and managed only five 2lb largemouths in 3 hrs. All on a kvd 1.5 black back chartreuse.
I caught a lot of grief from my buddies for my poor performance on Lobdell this past Saturday...just couldn't figure that lake out. Then on Monday I caught 5 nice smallies and 28 silver bass in 3 hours on St. Clair. Went 15 fish for 15 casts with the silvers at one point, but that's not much of an accomplishment given the fact that you can practically catch them on a bare hook when they are schooled up.
Had a blast fishing Long & Grand lakes in Alpena on Friday-Sunday & fished the Mega Bass tourney on Sunday. Caught a lot of smallies on both lakes, mostly on jerks, square bills, spinnerbaits, plastics for the fish that have moved on beds, & also got a few on topwater. Water temps were 57-62 while we were there. Everyone caught their 7 fish during the tourney, winning weight was around 24 pounds, the biggest fish went a little over 4 pounds. We probably caught 35 fish on Sunday, mostly 2 pounders. When we did decide to target some beds, we caught are 2 biggest (3 lbers). We should have bed fished all day but had fun with the reaction bites. Long Lake is a blast to fish but if you've fished it or watched MLF you know that the lake is filled with a bunch of 2-3 pounders. In fact, the last few tourneys I've fished, no one has gotten a fish 5 lbs or better. I did get a 5 pounder on Grand Lake while blind casting a weighted senko.
I fished Kent Lake. It was nice and peaceful no jetskis or waterskiers. We put 8 fish in the boat and had a picnic.
I caught a decent number of small bass, and one wicked sunburn! !!!
Fished the OBM Kent lake open on Sunday and caught lots of fish but not the size needed.
Then I helped a guy fix the electronics on his boat in Milford and he offered to take us out after on his little pond behind his house. Must have caught 100 fish in a couple hours. Stupid, non-pressured large mouth. Fun day to end the holiday weekend.
The nieces,nephews,son,daughter, and I (all under 6) did pretty good on Houghton lake we got a lot of small largemouth a few good ones and my son and I land a good smallmouth 3lber. I also got my 5 year old nephew on his first largemouth there was a lot of fist pumping and yelling. He now claims to be the best fisherman ever......
Got out in the new boat on Monday night on a small lake in Irish Hills. Got about 20 large mouth. Had two over 4lbs and the rest dinks. Most after dark and on a black and blue chatter bait.
