C.S. Mott Reservoir

[TroutFishingBear]

I fished C.S. Mott Reservoir this past weekend for about 4 hrs total on saturday and sunday and I caught 2 pike, a 26" skinny one and a 34" fat one, and also a 14" lmb that had SUPERB body condition. Lost one other nice pike. All were caught on the dam thing near the little fishing dock on a Silver Smithwick Rogue.

A retrieve that was changing directions from left to right with slight pauses seemed to be the ticket.

I neglected to mention I caught 2 smallies about 12" each and lost a NICE something (didn't see it) below the dam in the flint river.

oh yeah, I didn't see anyone catch anything on bait.

Nice job on the pike! That is one of my favorite lakes to fish. In the spring we catch a lot of walleye, bass and pike when fishing spinner baits near cover in the shallows. The bass in my avatar pi came from Mott in the spring.

I actually had a huge pike attack a 10" bass that I had on. He had about 3/4 of the fish in his mouth and did not let go until right before we tried to net him. The bass was pretty tore up, and I ended up cathing the same bass again about 30 minutes later in a different spot.

Good luck out there!

I move back to flint the 28th of september (my 20th bday, I live inear romulus right now and work at the GM Powertrain Plant) and I plan on fishin mott again (a lot)...I'd pay for half the bait and gas if you took me out on your boat...Don't worry, I'm not a crazy flintoid who will stab you for 20 cents, I'm a college student at kettering (and when I introduce it, the president of the fishing club)...but yeah, hit me back up in a private message or notification or whatever y'all call it on this forum. beware, my tactics are different than you northerners, being from the west, but they work GREAT.
