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.

For the distance I drove out to lake Michigan itself from GT Bay. The weather was perfect!

Help stop invasive spcies. Don't move fish between unconnected bodies of water. Clean, drain and dry your boat before launching on another water body.
Unless clearly stated as such, opinions expressed by Dan Kimmel on this forum are not the opinions or policies of The Bass Federation of Michigan.

What can you catch that far out?
forgive the newbie question, I am still learning.

I was over a hump about 10 miles north of the bay mouth. There are lots of sunken islands out that way. You'll find smallies , perch , lakers and kings out that way.

I've crossed Lake Michigan several times, going from Muskegon to Milwaukee.  Tradition is to stop half way and go swimming.  The water is as clear as it can possibly get way out there!  You literally cannot dive off the boat and go deep enough that the other's can't still see you.

Did you catch anything out there?
Addicted to fishing.  All the time, any species, anywhere!!  Especially in West Michigan!!!

TheFishinPollock

Just a few. I ended up long lining for lakers
