This is a tale of two lakes. Intertwined lakes, in Barry County, Michigan. Where somehow the water has gone away. Upper and Lower Crooked Lakes, both near and dear to me, are suffering from the lowest water levels I've seen in the 35+ years I've been fishing them.

Anyone down to go fishing tomarrow? I still haven't made up my mind but I REALLY want to go...

I'm also debating on where to go if I do go out...

Belleville is close... I'd like to get out to St. Clair but I haven't been able to get a view of the water to see if its clean or not... Hot Ponds are also tempting, but i've never been and I don't want to lose my lower unit...

Again... I'm still not sure if i'm going, but I really want to go...

I'm heading out tomorrow but I'm from a different neck of the woods from you. Down and over in N. Indiana I'm heading out to the St. Joe River for a couple hours. I wish you luck though!  ;)

I expect another riveting fishing report...

I'm gonna taint my reputation even further today. I went walleye fishing today with a buddy on the St. Joe River and caught 1/2 dozen. To make matters worse, we were using a jighead with a minnow attached. Live bait again! I'm sorry to let you guys all down, but my partner brought them and I couldn't get bit on artificial baits...

It was fun though! ;D

We whacked'em... I leave the riveting report to McCarter...

You guys are killing me. I opened up my own restaurant last month and haven't had a chance to fish in months. I drive by the unfrozen lakes every day and cringe. But hopefully it will all pay off and ten years from now I'll be fishing full time again. Until then it's 80 plus hours a week for me.

There's someone who understands the concept of long term planning... where's the restaurant?

It was a good time.  After overcoming the initial paranoia of being a co-angler on Cast n blasts' Skeeter and settling down after watching 2 dudes in a row boat and a dad and his two kids wacking fish for an hour and a half (while we had 1  :o), we decided to move around a little and picked off the fish that Team McGarza left behind for us.  It was awesome being on the water and even better boating close to 40 fish.  I'll post some pics later today or tomorrow...Thanks for letting me tag along Skip...I had a good time!

Peace.
It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart.

Okay dudes, why you all holding out on the location. It was a great day yesterday.  I was very close to going out and instead did work around the house. Sounds like a wrong decision. :)

The future forecast looks like it is turning soon making all the ice fisherman happy. 

Glad to hear you guys had such a good time.  Days like that, this time of the year, are
such bonuses.  It was about 7 years ago I had the chance to fish on January 11th at Metro. Cool stuff.
