The Crappie from 10"-14" have been hanging by an inflow pipe for the past week . Taking to 16th oz. Squirrel Tail Jigs and 32nd oz. Tube Jigs and 2" plastic Minnows .Particularly good fishing and after during the rain . Bullheads and Channel Cats are prolific also.

Been thru there but never fished in that area. Heck, I haven't even had time to fish all the lakes and streams in Branch County

Thanks Dick. I accepted you request. Looking forward to a great open water fishing season here in MI. So many lakes here that sometimes it's hard to decide where to go and what to fish for. Now that I am retired I can spend much more time doing what I love. Hope we can get together sometime.
