My Houghton lake/Reedsburg Dam Trip...

[fishinggirl]

i got back from my houghton lake trip yesterday! it was a great 4 day weekend... i did most of my fishing at the reedsburg dam. we caught about 10 pike, 4 bass and of course a bunch of sunfish (we released all the fish we caught). i did 3 nights at a motel in prudenville and the last night i camped at reedsburg dam. the bars were kind of dead (i heard they had state police check points going on). we only hit the close bars in prudenville where we were staying. i'm planning another trip for august (probably friday and saturday night in the motel and sunday night camping at reedsburg). the only thing that really sucked was that the outhouses stunk sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo bad!! i wish they could do something about that. i hold my breath and breathe out my mouth which is fine until i get out...i can 'taste' the smell in my mouth for a couple of minutes afterwards!! i was playing some good ol' classic country music (george jones, johnny cash, randy travis, josh turner) and no one complained...then i felt like rockin' out for a few and put in some J Geils and by the second song some grumpy lady walked over about 5 campsites to get in my face and start yelling at me, "not everyone likes this kind of music in this park"! so i went back to the country music and all was well again... i guess classic rock is kind of out these days... all i heard was country music at the park (which is fine with me) if it's not that 'young country'.

Glad to hear you had a good time We stopped at reedsburg so the kids could catch some crawfish. Didnt fish there stayed on the lake. Water was real dirty all week, Caught quite a few bass couple of pike and only two walleyes. Left yesterday and they started to catch the eyes as the water was clearing up. Oh well had a good trip. You are right the bars were quiet and the city was pretty quiet all week. Sucks that Carters closed down.
Have you tried fishing at the Muskegon dam right off the lake great for pike with minnows

[fishinggirl]

Reedsburg above the dam, out in the river that comes into the lake is fantastic. I will be hitting that sometime this summer. Maybe she was mad because it was J Geils:D . Try some Zeplin next time.
