Even with water temps at the surface of over 80 degrees? at one point it was 82.Quote:

Years ago, we were catching them at Lacassine pool (which, if i am not mistaken, is just a little northwest of there) when the temp was in the upper 90's, not sure what the water temp was at the time, but we caught and kept over 450 fish in a 5 day total, fishing about a foot deep in deeper water. Them marsh fish are different from the open lake fish.
At least i have some hair to turn grey[emoji6]Quote:

In White Lake very little tide as it would depend on the various locks being left open to allow salt water in. There is a rise and fall caused by winds blowing on White and Grand lakes. They act as pumps circulating the water. A big wind and you might see muddy water flowing into the canals pushing the clear water into the marsh. If the wind switches it could then flow out clear.Quote:

I was there Saturday and Sunday with the wife. We caught 46 in those 2 days. Fishing about a foot deep up towards the bank.

Wow! I think that's way better than Little Prarie. I had only 3 today and last trip the same. Glad to see you are back in the groove.Quote:
