Panfish are Heating Up!!!!!
April 14th, 2010 | 
Author: It’s a great time to be outside right now. We are starting to get over the cold weather and now the Sun is really starting to Shine. In West Michigan we have allot of Blue Ribbon water around to satisfy your need of getting a line wet.
I went to Reeds Lake yesterday and limited out on Specs. I could have got a bucket full of gills to if I wanted but we started out with about 10 dozen minnows. They where gone in no time. And then I had my buddy run me out another 10 dozen. We went threw them and started using small tube baits. And you want to talk about um putting the smack down on um. We hit allot of fish yesterday its a great time of the year to get a kid out there and get um casting for some fish. They don’t have to wait there forever to get a bite.
Look for shallow water this time of year. And keep your eye open for trees and stumps in the water. The more cover the better. And if your not getting hung up. Your not fishing right. We caught all males yesterday. The males are coming up first to get the beds ready for big momma to show up. This is a Shot of a channel at Reeds Lake. Reeds Lake is such a good fishery that you do not need to travel very far to catch allot of clean fish. I Find that alot of smaller pot hole lakes you will see pepper in there meat or grubs. And I don’t know about you but i don’t like to eat fish with all that stuff in there meat. And in Reeds Lake you will find the fish are nice and clean. That lake is so under fished.
Grand River Heating up!!!!
It’s been a slow winter and it’s about time we have a had a push of fish come up. With the Sun we have been having and the warmer weather we have been having has put a spice of life back in the grand. The Fish the last few days have been hitting the dam in the morning time. and then Dropping back in the deep holes during the day to get out of the Sun. But you will still hit um at the dam though all day long just not as good. At the dam allot of guys are drifting Flies and then bouncing and floating and plunking Spawn and Skein Pink has been hot at the dam. And a few are using Salted Shiner Minnows as well. And then drifting spawn and bouncing spawn in the holes as well with Jigs and Waxy’s. This year allot more guys are hitting fish on fulton st back bouncing spawn and running plugs off there.
Boat anglers down river are Back bouncing spawn and Plugging the Holes. And also Running Jigs tipped with waxy’s in the holes too.
Last year around March 15th was the peek of the run. We have not had that much water all winter long. And with the up coming rains on there way this next week we are all going to see a nice push of fish. I think the peek of the run is still a few weeks out. They have been Holing up down River, But when they make there run up river its going to be total MAYHAM!!! Get out there and wet a line!!!!!
