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.

Half Moon Chain another great chain. There is a chain hidden in back full of great gills if you get a chance Allen a great little lake.

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.

Hi all. Love to fish Crappie. They are my favorite. Most of the lakes here in SW Michigan have good numbers of them. Glad to be on board with this group
