Kent Saturday

[Bass_Cat]

Hi Tom & Guys,

I'm not going to be able to make it out Saturday. 

Good Luck to all, Mark

You already have me as a non-boater... Steve D.  So that's cool. 

I might be cutting it close on 6am.  The best I can do is call one of you guys when I'm on my way out there.  I might not be able to get on the road until 5:30am, and I think I'm about 45 minutes away.

Steve D.  Who is this guy???  I've heard people talk about him I think!    I can't wait to fish with ya!  If you need me to wait for you to show up, it's no problem.  Take your time and don't hurry.  We have all day.  I can't wait to see everyone.  For those who can't make it;  have a safe and happy holiday weekend!  You guys will be missed!

   6 am !! I have a sitter coming to my house 7 am sharp so I wont be able to get to the docks until 8 am latest. If there is another boater dragging in, maybe I'll pair up with you ?  Whoever you are Mr. Non Early Bird: PM me your cell phone and we'll hook up.

As for the rest of you -  I absolutely cannot wait to clown each one of yous for allowing me to get so addicted to this. Enablers !!!!

Hopefully fishing goes well tomorrow, I'm a little worried with this cold front that has moved in.
I went out there last night and used the west launch, really shallow and a lot of rocks. I was out for 2 hours and got a couple of LM, then 2 big SM bass. Man these guys really put up a fight! Hopefully they are still active tomorrow! See you all there.

From Lansing Head east on 96.

If you go out of the West Launch you should get off on Kensington Rd. Take a Left at the top of the on ramp, park entrance is on your right after you cross over 96. The launch is the first parking/picinic area you come to on your right hand side, past the golf course.

If you are going out of the East launch go past Kensignton Rd, and get off at Kent Lake road, turn left on Kent Lk Rd (North). The Launch is the 1st drive immeadiately after the pay both.

The personally like the West launch, but it puts you in the far SW corner of the Lk. The East launch puts you in the middle of the Lake, for those of you who like to head north in the lake.

If you launch out of the West you can beach your boat along the shore to the left of the launch, if you launch at the east Im not sure if you can tie up to the breakwall and docks or not.

Good Luck to you guys this weekend, wish I was able to partake.

Nice Smallie Chris.

We're launching out of the East ramp.  There's plenty of seawall and a boat marina where we can tie up if we need to. But there are at least 6 docks, so there's plenty of room at the ramp.

Wow what a day! I was scared there for a while, Jack and I didn't even get a bite for the first 45 minutes. And then we found 'em  Jack and I put probably 40+ fish in the boat before 11:30. I was culling out my fish at 9:00. Then the rains came...now that I think about it I didn't land a fish after we left the bridge...Oh well we caught enough in the first 5 hours, having yur wrist sore the next day is a good thing! thanks again for taking me out Jack i hope to fish with you again some time. Great meeting Mojo and seeing everyone again.

We experienced the same thing.  Once we left the bridge, we only got one fish.  It's weird what the storm did to the fish.  I wonder if it pushed them off the banks?  Still had a great day.  Mojo didn't get there until 8:30 so he didn't get into as many fish, but I think he still had a good time.  I know I did.  That was one of the better Kent Lake days I've had.  Usually it's much slower than that.  Looking forward to St. Clair on the 9th.  Judging from the busy ramp the other weekend, we should get a very early start if we want to launch at the Cutoff/Ballard ramp that day.  I recommend that ramp because it'll put us right on the middle of the lake.
