Super User A-Jay Posted May 30, 2008 Super User Posted May 30, 2008 I did pretty well last night.. I took two rods, one for bluegill and the other for bass. i managed to bring in a few nice LMB which was 17" and a fatty and another at 16" and a fatty. The bluegills were hitting well but im not thinking they were bedding up yet. Water temps were 70 degrees and the actiaon slowed tremendously after the sun went down and the surface temps dropped to 68.. Cool I was looking for some Hawg gills myself - I think your right - it won't be long though - A-Jay Quote
misfit1III8 Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 Its going to be a warm one this week.. FINALLY.. lets see how the action picks up!!! Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted June 3, 2008 Super User Posted June 3, 2008 I FINALLY have water temps that are reaching the 60's - it's been a slow warm-up for sure - - but the SMB seem to like it . . . . . A-Jay Quote

Super User A-Jay Posted June 12, 2008 Super User Posted June 12, 2008 Got out today for the mid-day bite - The frog was see'in some action - A-Jay Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted June 13, 2008 Super User Posted June 13, 2008 nice dude.. what kinda frog? Check your e-mail . . . I been throwing the Deps Frog (see Link) it's by far the BEST frog bait I've ever seen - - It has a great action that is very different than everything else out there !!! It's a little high $$$$ for a stupid little hunk of plastic but it's a really sweet bait - I was throwing it in both vegatation and open water and bass were hammering it - I think the pike might like it too which might not be too good . . . . . . . http://www.***.com/descpageDEPBAIT-DBF.html# A-Jay Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted June 18, 2008 Super User Posted June 18, 2008 Heading out again today - got out yesterday - wind and rain - pretty crappy day as far as the weather goes - but the fish were in a chewing mood and my better half and I put a hurting on them ! ! ! Including her personal best LMB . . . . . Headed out again this morning - looks like it might not be as windy but the same raw rainy deal as yesterday - ah - summer in Northern Michigan - it's so lovely and 43 degrees . . .nice . . . . .. . . . . . A-Jay Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted June 18, 2008 Super User Posted June 18, 2008 Just got back. Lack of rain didn't help the fishing. The bite was totally shut off from yesterday. Managed a handful of dinks and a nice pike. Tomorrow is another day. Retirement is pretty good. A-Jay Quote
JacobK Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 anyone in the sterling heights area been going out lately? i've been swamped for the past 2 weeks and haven't gone once yet.....i'm having withdrawls!!! Quote
Upnorth Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 SouthWest Michigan (Muskegon/WhiteLake) has been pretty steady. Water was in the low 70's, but now in the upper 60's. The Alewifes are in and on the flats, so the fluke/spinnerbait/crankbait/topwater bite is on, especially in the evenings. The smallmouth bite has been about dead for me, all green fish. I have been trying the deep bite, but its very slow with just a few small fish. If the water ever gets into the upper 70's, that should pick up. I appreciate the reports. Good luck!! Quote
misfit1III8 Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 Had an easy personal best on last night... I think im going to go back to my dark corner and continue to cry now.... I did however mange to land a few nice pike which are now nicely deboned and ready to be served up tonight.. Quote

Super User A-Jay Posted July 14, 2008 Super User Posted July 14, 2008 Dissappointing . . . . . This weekend was a total Blow-Out ! The wind was Crank'in all day and night - which is a bummer - sometimes I'll get out if it lays out at night - but it seems that it's been windy quite a bit this month - at least on the days I plan to get out - - - - I really hope it lays down at least a little - I REALLY NEED A FIX - And what makes it worse is that on Friday (my last day on the water ) I think I came across a little something that produced some surprise fish - And I haven't been able to get back to it since ! ! ! It's killing me - - - - - Help . . . . . me . . . . . I'm . . . . getting . . . .weaker . . . .need . . . . to . . . . go . . . .fishing . . . . . sorry - I'm a little better now - looks like I'll be able to get out later this afternoon ~ I'm sure I'll be casting into Coffee colored water at best - but sometimes - that's not a bad thing . . Rant over. A-Jay Quote
