Made a run to very popular Ionia Co lake this morning for the first time this year. Many of you likely know it. It's a quantity not quality lake but gives up limits on the small side of keeper. Trolled #4 and #5 Flicker Shad in Chrome Clown, Purple Tiger and one that has RT (don't recall what it stands for). Plenty of action from 5:30am until I left at 9am, just never caught one that would have been worth cleaning.
Still fun. Did land a 28" northern that was skinny as a nail, I'd guess it was a male. First northern I've ever seen there.

Hopefully the bite will be on at lakes close to home that give quality. Good luck everyone!
