Good luck tomorrow to all in Mi....although the lakes and rivers are a mess from all the rain. I'll be on Wixom!

Oh yea ! and the 15-25 mph winds Gusting to over 40 mph fore casted will make the day just that much more pleasant - waited 5 months, what's another day . . .

Stay Safe everyone

That best thing about being retired is being able to pick and choose which days you want to go fishing. Today isn't one of those days!

showers tomorrow and mon, plus it was 38 deg this morning.....i stayed home to cut the grass. will try to hit it tomorrow. i hear there were a few boats out on wixom. it would be interesting to hear how everyone did.

I really don't think you missed a thing. Went and looked at Hardy Pond on the Muskegon River yesterday. All of the spillways @ Rogers, Hardy, and Croton were wide open, pushing a mass of muddy sludge downstream. Throw in a heavy SE wind and there was no way I was getting out in the cold this morning. Wixom had to be just about the same so I'm pretty sure you would have just been going for a boat ride today.

It's early in the season.... Thankfully.

It was a beautiful Michigan day with mild to med wind, 54 to 57 deg surface temp. We started fishing around Noon and didn't get the first decent fish until around 3pm. Hands didn't even get cold till about 7:30pm. We ended up catching four 4 lbers with the biggest being 4.6 lbs 19.5'long. We also caught a large handful of two and three lbers though out the day...

I tried to get again today but had to call it early as the winds were just too much - gusting over 30 ! It was just un-fish able. It's early but it is MAY - so I'd appreciate it if mother nature would squeeze the breeze a little and sooner rather than later would be NICE !

Struck out at Wixom today. The water was murky, muddy and 55-56 deg. I tried slow rolling spinner baits rigged with gold blades in 8-9 feet of water, big noisy KVD 2.5 square bills slowww in 3-5, and t-rigged 7 inch black power worms in shallows, docks and banks. Mostly in a cove on the east side. 2 bites..struck out! Its the first time I've been skunked at Wixom. The main lake was rough and windy. Better luck next time. The walleye and crappie guys were struggling also.

Glad to hear you did well! Where the hell were you fishing?
