Sweet! Purdy fish for sure.
Way to go G
Niiiice. Good job, and looks like a bonus rock bass in there as well. Been catching a few big ole pig rock bass lately myself.
yea he has hooked pretty deep so we kept him too. going after them again in the morning, water is very high and dirty where we were getting them last week. but cant catch them on the couch.
well it was game on today, at mott lake 1 short of a limit but get a nice to make up for itAttachment 163538Attachment 163539 slip bobber and minnows was the ticket
Sweet.
CS Mott has been on my hit list for a couple of years. These photos are making it hard for me to not load up the rig and make the drive over.
come on over, should be a good bite this weekend too, with the cooler nites this week.
well that confirms it mot is doing well a buddy of mines friend showed up on kent lake today saying the fish were bigger at mott lk. that and the walleye were hitting on mott last week. funny he said that cause as soon as he said that i caught a 12 inch eye on my crappie rig lol's. and a couple crappie on the other rigs i had out lol's but ya it still going on down here, so central / northern Michigan it should still be going on...........

some good looking fish, looks like you have them figured out
thanks read2fish been try out some spider rigging with minnows. have some long poles on the way going to try out with jigs then.
Nice group of fish! Thx for the pics.
well had a few hours to kill this morning. starting to get the hang of pushing minnows, i think lol. Attachment 168014 set about 5 ft down in 10 ft of water today.
Yup, I'd say you figured 'em out. Nice job!
thanks for your help yankee set those 12fters up with 1/2oz egg sinker a bead and swivel. then 18" dropper line with the hook on it.:) now i just need some else to go with me so i can run 6 rods at once lol
I'm game g. Always wanted to fish/learn Mott.
Nice fish.
didnt do so hot today fished from 5:30 am till 9:30. caught a lot of small eye's and crappie just under 8". did manage a few keepers thoAttachment 169444 how is the bite going for very body else?
I fished the leading edge of a storm Friday evening. Fish were scattered everywhere. No one tactic or bait produced multiple fish. Ended up catching 10 and keeping 5 for dinner. Tons of short biting blue gills that tore the tails off my plastics!
tough bite today at mott lake got a good mixed bag thoAttachment 212000
Nice catch. What were they hitting on?
been using little green and orange blades on some home made rigs with minnows tight lining
Nice catch!!
Nice catch.

How's the Spider Rigging working out?
starting to get the hang of it crappie 1. i just keep playing with different set ups. definitely very relaxing fishing meth-ed tho .
well i hope fall camp went well for every one. didn't get back in town till late friday just couldn't ride any more. but got out early today and slipped out to hollaway for a few hours. no real hot bite. but got a few for dinnerAttachment 214808. hope to see some picture of camp.
Very nice catch.From where do you get the little spinners above the beads.
That's a great lil mess o fish. Sorry you couldn't make camp. Keep an eye out for the spring camp posting. The date has already been set for June 11, but the location is still open.
Danny,
We buy a lot of our Spinners from "Jann's Netcraft". Those should be around a size 1 or size 2 Colorado blade. You can also buy the beads there as well. Several places sell "walleye spinner blades" or "perch spinner blades".
IF you do decide to purchase some, you need to ensure you have clevises to attach the spinner to your line. Size 1 or size 2 would be good for those blades. Personally, I purchase "quick Clevises". This allows you to change blades without having to change the entire setup. They sell them in metal or plastic. I prefer the metal ones. Plastic tends to get brittle and the little holder arms break off.
hello d wichlundrh is right size 1 on the spinner blades. but not using those now, the fish are in transition mode. so we are using a number 6 light wire hook on an 12" leader made of 4lb mono then a split shoot. they are just starting to school up here. and in all depths of the water column. we are catching some a foot off the bottom in 18 ft of water and 10 minutes later 2 ft under the surface. hope this helps D
