Thanks for the pics. It's good to see they are moving into the shallows at Kent Lake. I may get out there tomorrow and see what I can do. Hope this cold weather doesn't turn them off or send them back out deeper. Yesterday we got two limits of bluegills in shallow at a Barry County lake. Mostly on the small side. Only one crappie, which is what I was really hoping for. I hope Kent is better for them.

no problem i have caught a few 10+ inch gills out of there and a few 13 + inch crappie on occasions herd stories of a few 15 + inch crappie caught here and there. all and all it is a good lake to live buy to go to after work... do you plan to go out in a boat or on foot? i be out there tomorrow is why i ask. if you see a guy in a loud tie dyed jimi hendrix shirt that is me i shore fish for the most part...stop by and say hi. i may be there all day don't know yet cause it is not meant to rain at all tomorrow hopefully finger crossed. any ways glad you enjoyed the pic's... any ways i think Monday it is to be sunny and warm for the most part only day there calling for rain is Saturday and Wednesday for the 10 day forecast.

My wife and I will be fishing from shore. If we spot somebody in a Jimi Hendrix shirt we'll be sure to say hello! They say no rain for today, so I can't resist. Got to give it a try even if it's colder than I'd like. Good luck, and maybe we'll see you out there.

It was pretty slow for us today. Got a dozen eater size gills, no crappies. No sign of the Jimi Hendrix shirt, but I'll keep my eyes open whenever we're back that way. Hope you did better than us!
