Panfish in Grand Rapids, MI

[fishnut]

Hi there, can anyone tell me if they are catching any panfish on inland lakes near Grand Rapids, MI? I am headed out on Monday and am curious where they're biting. Let me know. Thanks.

Head out to Yankee Springs, the gills are biting pretty much everywhere, we've been getting them on nymphs and on poppers everywhere we've been.

There were some small gills at the boat ramp at Pratt Lake. I dont have a boat so I dont have any more information sorry.

Hey Big Al, how are you guys doing with float tubes, have you been using yours. I'm itchin' to use mine. I may try and head out next week, will you be around? Let me know.

We've been doing real good out of our float tubes on a couple different lakes. What time are you going out next week? I don't have to be to work until 1:00 so maybe we can hook up one morning and fish for a few.

[fishnut]

Maybe on Thursday evening I may go fishing on Hall. May take my float tube as well (most likely will). Will you be out and about? Let me know.

[Big Al]

Fishnut, I'll be heading to marquette on Thursday evening next week, my sister is graduating from Northern, maybe some other time.

sfw1960, where is wabasis lake cause Hawg gills always sound good.

Wabasis Lake is in the NE portion of Kent County in Spencer Township. 18 Mile Rd. and Lincoln Lake Ave. are good reference points. The boat launch is on the SW side off Meddler Ave.

Hey Big Al, I'll let you know how I do on Hall. I'm thinking the fishing should be pretty good with all this warm weather.

[Big Al]

Yeah I just heard last night that they're doing pretty good a crappies out there. I got the wrong week for my trip to Marquette, we're not going until the first week in May but I'm still going to be at work thursday night:( . Good Luck.

Oops, almost forgot. Thanks for the info Whit, I'm going to have to add that lake to my list of lakes to try. Big Al
