Great Lakes Bass Fishing Forum

I want to do some panfishing preferably in Oakland County. Any recommendations?

I was on kent lake fishing a Bass tournament Sunday and there must have been a thousand blue gill under the 96 bridge..A couple of guys where there fishing from shore and seemed to be doing pretty good..Some of them looked to be pretty good sized also....
I have never fished for bluegill on Kent lake, but I am thinking about taking my daughter there in a few weeks...

I don't know about bluegills, but I've caught more big crappie this year on Kent then I have in all my years of fishing there combined.  They're hard to find, but when you do find them, they are usually stacked up.

I'm going out Thursday to Kent and check it out. I will post a report upon my return. Thanks fellas.

Looking forward to your report..

Well, I went to Kent Lake today and just as was told to me about the 96 Bridge, there is a thousand Bluegills hanging around the entrance from the Lake. You can't go to the other side from Kent because of construction to the bridge. The weather was perfect and the gills were biting great. I had 500 wax worms  and saw dust all over the boat. I caught my share of gills and sun. I would like to go back maybe next week. Thanks again

No problem, I am glad they were still there for you...I am going to try to get down there soon..
I was fishing a bass tourney and I thought for sure the bass would move in there to slam those gills..It never happened. I hooked a nice SM in the AM and that was it..
