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.

There is allot of great fishing around Grand Rapids right now.  With the Lake turning over last week. It has brought some great fishing at the 6th Dam. Scams are gettting caught. And nice wave of Browns have came in as well use Crawlers, Flies, Minnows and Body Baits to land um.

And don’t forget about the walleye that are stocked in the Grand. Us some smaller body bait. Or bounce some crawlers on the bottom.

Want to catch some Catfish. The East side wall has been producing some huge ones. Use some Fresh Cut Bait, Suckers, Gills or some Crawlers. And dont forget about the soft Shell Crabs.

Gills as well as Specs having been getting caught on leaf worms, wax worms and spec minnows.
