Well the brave ones showed up last night to fish once again Whitemore lake.
Gillgetter & daughter Megan, myself and a member that hasn't fished with us yet this year Flinch(Brian) from Plymouth.
It was cool, overcast and a little breezy but we did not get rained on.
Everyone caught some fish, nothing for the freezer or anything to really brag about.
Myself while waiting to see if any other "real" fisherman showed up was trolling around the first major drop off in front of the launch site a darn good sized spec hit a rather large silver/black rapala shortly before 6pm and I thought I might be on to something, but was wrong. Marked alot of fish and the largest ones of the night at that spot. I worked that area for about 45 minutes before deciding to move down to the south side of the lake, where I caught a small bluegill on a crawler harness and another papermouth which reminded me why they call them that as he came off the hook at the boat.
The wind was a little strong at that side of the lake and after a brief 10 minute look at the sun peeking out from 7:30 to 7:40 and getting to see a float plane take off disapear and come back circle and land I decided to finish the night back in front of the launch area where I marked the biggest fish only to land a whopping 3.5" gill.
Gillgetter and Megan caught some gills and crappie and Megan caught the big fish about an 11.5" crappie.
Flinch caught some gills one decent size one and some 10"-14" bass, relaeased of course.
The good thing about the evening was traffic on the lake was minimal, only 1 or 2 skiers and I only saw one jet ski and he came in to the dock when we were loading up to leave.
We did see some guys in a small boat had a bucket full of pan fish. When I was out in front of the launch fishing after I first got there I saw these guys launch & motor out there secret spot just north of the launch & they remained there the entire night.
Flinch it was nice to meet you & hope you join us again.
Next week we will cave into Trailfinders request and fish Wolverine lake
Although I hate driving in that neighborhood, the traffic and the fact you just can't go straight from point A to point B we will do it.
P.S. If anybody from the Livingston Co. area wants to ride over to Wolverine that night and dosen't want to drive they can ride with me & fish out of my boat.
