I like to tell people I SKI on Mt Elliott

Yep, when pigs fly to hell and ice skate down there.

It seems that this is the only "active" topic anymore.

During the spring/summer time, it's the only one that SHOULD be active, haha. It means people are catching fish!

or at least fishing

Went out Friday and caught 16 largies, one of them my first 4 pounder of the year! 4 pounds 4 ounces. Also went out yesterday and pulled in 4. This year's already lookin like a good one. I hope everyone else has been productive too. How about you Pill? You gettin any?

saw some nice largies being caught at the Selfridge site yesterday. too bad none were at the end of my line. one guy had what looked like a 5-lber

They're spawning where I'm at.  My dad caught a 5 pounder off a Horny Toad, along with 5 other bass, ranging from 2-4 lbs.  I wasn't so lucky, I only caught a few 2 lb. bass.

I mainly fish the southwest end of Lake St. Clair, and the past few times I've gone out, I've caught less and less bass each time. I caught 16 the first day, then 6, then 4, and the last time I went, I only pulled out two yearlings. I'm gettin frustraaaaaaaaaated.

Hey everyone, let me catch you up. First getting the gremlins outta my new boat, even getting it down to start it without flooding the thing.  Been out every weekend since Pike/Walley opened.  Have been slaying the smallies on the Muskegon of course catch and "immediate" release .  Have fished two tournament nights now, first week caught one fish to get on the board 1lb 8oz smallmouth on Roger Pond.  This week we fished the Muskegon River and I got two nice fish, unfortunately the first and nices (2lb 12oz) was just before the tournament started so it didn't count. Did get a 2lb 5oz in the boat to add to my season total. 

Also took my son and grandson out on Lake Mecosta, some slabber rock bass out there. We all landed four or five and had a great time.  We spent last Saturday out there for about three hours, lots of fish.

Can see the pictures on my profile.

Going out this weekend, Bass opener finally. Going to hit Chippewa Lake, probably Monday, to pre fish it for the tournament next week. Will most likely go out on Hardy Pond tomorrow morning to fish it before all the "boater" get out and wreck the fishing.

Hope every one gets out and lands some nice fish.  If you near or passing by Big Rapids give me a shout and maybe we can drop a line, I know lots of good spots and my boat is ready to go.

I've heard from people located all around Lake St. Clair that they've been having troubles out on the lake. I haven't been pulling out nearly as much as I did last year. Anyone having any luck?

was on east twin lake a week ago hammered the pike caught about 30 mostly hammer handles. One nice one to enter in the campground fishing contest but got it handed to me by a young whippersnapper he landed a 32" pike which is huge for our lake and was almost and big as him lol. I did manage to catch one 18" bass even though I wasn't targeting them. Don't like to disturb them on their bed this time of year. We planted some walleye in our lake 4 years ago and I had one report of a 23" one caught last weekend. heading up for the summer friday and will get serious about fishing then. Oh yeah the guys said the walleye fishing on the saginaw river is about done but they are starting to get some fair catches in the bay. Most are launching their boats out of the linwood area.

hit Stoney Creek yesterday for 2 largemouths, 1 punkinseed, 1 bluegill and 1 rock bass

Hit the Marina yesterday and pulled 2 largies and a 20" northern.

Caught a five pound Largemouth a few days ago.  Wish I would have brought the camera that day!
