| West Shore Pan Fish and Walleyes |
The West shore of Houghton Lake is heating up. We started fishing at 9:30am
this morning in 11 FOW slowly working our way around the weeds jigging Berkeley
Gulp minnows and leeches. No wind and 80 degree water temps made ideal conditions
for working in and around the weeds. We setup slip bobbers with leeches 18
inches off bottom as our secondary rods. At noon we stumbled across a nice
school of pan fish that ended up producing four gills at the ten inch mark one
at 10.5 and a nice mess for our dinner. The walleye action was best on Berkeley
Gulp minnows orange / yellow jigs fished up off bottom. We hooked 10 walleyes
and 4 keepers by 1pm.
I talked to a group of fishermen at the dock that had a few walleyes and some
big pike. They said they were jig fishing east of the Limber Lost in 10 to
12 FOW.
Crooked Lake: Saturday morning we fished in a bass tournament
on Crooked Lake in Lake Station and had a wonderful time. This was our first time on the lake and we
found lots of bass and big pan fish. I
marked out a few spots and plan to return in January to try hooking some of the
big crappy the lake is known for.
Overall the lake is worth fishing if you like to catch bass.
Good Luck.....
