Larry don't know were your going but Michigan is blessed with lakes. If you ever wonder south to Hillsdale, Lenawee, Washtenaw, Livingston, Branch or Jackson Counties give me a call maybe I can help with some information.

The AEP ponds are excellent bluegill fisheries. much like the 650 recreation lands in hanging rock near ironton ohio. i fish them regularly and i can tell you first hand there is no finer panfishing around in the state except for the aep lands.

Has anyone fished or planning on fishing the AEP recreation lands off of 77 in Ohio? I have been wanting to go there for some time now, and was wonder if it was worth the trip?

If I get out the remainder of July it will probably be a crappie stalk on the coastal marsh……
