rocknfish9001 Posted May 19, 2008 Posted May 19, 2008 I live in berrien county, and i have been slaying them on huskey jerks and rattletraps. A majority have been small, and the beds i can find are usually vacant. The last two times i went out, i caught 12 bass each time, within 2 1/2 hours. No size to any of them. Quote
logger Posted May 19, 2008 Author Posted May 19, 2008 Caught my first skunk of the season. I went to Burt Lake Thursday for the first time ever. What a huge body of water. I ran all over that lake checking the spots from my maps and following the advice of other local anglers. Gin clear water, no vegetation anywhere, no stumps, no cattails the only "structure" I could find was a rocky flat and that didn't produce anything. Fished the Pigeon River friday morning and my luck continued as 4 of us got in the river at the same spot 2 went down stream my buddy and I fished up stream. We had no hits in 3 1/2 hours. The guys who went downstream limited out in 45 minutes. Had a great time anyway, I'll be out tonight back home I home. Quote
misfit1III8 Posted May 19, 2008 Posted May 19, 2008 Tough day fishin on Friday.. Pressure was droppin and it wasn't good. I only brought in one fish where I have previously brought in some nice Pike and strangley enough I only brought in one LM there. As i left though I was paddling through the swamp where the river breaks up into several channels and I heard a few splashes. So I through on a white buzzbait and brought in a Pike on the first cast. on the 3rd or fourth cast I watched another Pike go after it from about 15-20 ft away. I watched the wave of the water get closer an closer to the bait which was very cool. I caight a few nice LM on the front lake but that wasn't quite as exciting as the Pike experience. Quote

Cool - I'm looking forward to getting out there with ya - soon. I did the Monday afternoon to sunset bite. Managed some decent LMB and SMB. It's always interesting when you get both from the same spots - you never know what it's gonna be- 4' *** and 1/0 gamakatsu's on very light line was the ticket - the water is so clear - it's the only way to go - I just became a pumpkinseed fan - again Looks like today and tomorrow are gonna be cool - 45-ish what's up with that - water temps are still in the mid to high 50's - it a slow warmer this spring - -Out again today - - - A-Jay Quote
logger Posted May 20, 2008 Author Posted May 20, 2008 Fished the Mio pond Monday evening. Water temps still at 56* no fish shallow yet. Caught 1 pike and 1 sm both in 10" of water. Ran into a guy I know on the lake and his fish were caught in 10" on the drop off as well. Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted May 22, 2008 Super User Posted May 22, 2008 Did anyone go out today and brave this nasty cold/windy slop ? I did not. I 'm waiting for the end of the week and hoping for something a little bit more seasonal. A-Jay Quote
paragon Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 This global warming is putting a damper on my good time. Quote
misfit1III8 Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 yeah this global warming stuff is really getting outta control.. Im scared for my child!!!!!.. i seem to have lost my pants again... anyone seen them? Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted May 22, 2008 Super User Posted May 22, 2008 misfit1III8 Maybe if you had one of these - you wouldn't keep losing your pants ? Buckle-up tough-guy . . . . A-Jay Quote
bassdocktor Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 I went out today and nothing was happening. Hit Brandywine for about 3hrs 1 short fish. Pretty much no matter where I went I was finding fish suspended in 4ft on the graph but they all seemed really small. I was finding clouds of fry. Nothing on beds. I'll be out somewhere else tomorrow. Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted May 23, 2008 Super User Posted May 23, 2008 On the lake today - Cold wind - water temps dropped to 51 - but - and this is the good part - it was a SMB slam fest - Rapala sub-walk was the bait of the day - first time I've fished this bait - it's a keeper-- targeted flats on the north end - boat docks and beds - fish were surprisingly aggressive for such a chilly day - man that was a very good time - hoping for more tomorrow - A-Jay Quote
misfit1III8 Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 nice a-jay... Im headin out tomorrow..some of us have to work and can't go fishin everyday.. Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted May 23, 2008 Super User Posted May 23, 2008 misfit1III8 - I hear ya - you know I did my time working for the man. So now it's fish, fish, fish, and then go fishing again. . . . Good Luck today - Throw the sub-walk A-Jay Quote
misfit1III8 Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 i know dude.... im just jealous and bustin on ya bit... Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted May 24, 2008 Super User Posted May 24, 2008 Did the sunset cruise tonight - the smallies were ready willing and I was able to get a few of them to the boat and in the net. Water temps at 55. Sub-walk is making me a believer. A-Jay Quote
JacobK Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 Andrew I told you things would turn around at metro. Where you back in the canal/marsh or up front closer to the lake. Way to go, wheres the pics. where do you guys usually fish at metro i've been working the boat docks and a little bit of the marsh towards the boat launch with no luck. Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted May 28, 2008 Super User Posted May 28, 2008 Heading out for my first "night operations" of the year - conditions are looking favorable - Oh Boy . . . . A-Jay Quote
Super User MALTESE FALCON Posted May 28, 2008 Super User Posted May 28, 2008 If you guys don't mind the walk, when you go to Metro Beach, go out to the mouth of the Black Creek and fish off the point. I've caught alot of smallies off that point. Walleyes too. Falcon Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted May 28, 2008 Super User Posted May 28, 2008 what will be fishin for mr. A-jay???? Funny you should ask - I'm hoping to stir up a few more SMB right before dark. Then after twilight, My "plan" is to connect with Ol' Marble eyes - I picked up a new cooler today at Jay's and would like to fill it up - I mean break it in - with in legal limits of course. . . . . . I'll be sleeping in but will post a report right before I head out again tomorrow afternoon to hook it up again . . . . . A-Jay Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted May 30, 2008 Super User Posted May 30, 2008 Last night didn't pan out as I had hoped - so I got right back in the saddle today with a SMB FEST ! A change in scenery made a major difference. I has one of those days that makes Winter in northern Michigan Almost with it . . . . A-Jay Quote
misfit1III8 Posted May 30, 2008 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.. Quote
