    Default Fantastic Weekend On Swan Lake (pics)


    Wife and I took a much needed weekend with the rig down to Swan Lake in Allegan county, MI and we had a blast. That lake is filthy with specks, and we caught a slew of 'em. Unfortunately, because there are so many they don't get much bigger than 8-9", but we had fun catchin' them.

    Caught 28 in less than 2 hours on Fri. night, then C&R 30 or so on Sat. The kids came down and hauled in 40 more on Sun. afternoon. Sun. morn I told the wife I wanted to run the boat over to Eagle lake which is only 6 miles from Swan, and it holds bigger fish. We got blown all over the lake, and finally took refuge along the western shore and I managed to pull in 2 really nice fish before we had to head back to Swan to meet the kids.

    Caught them on Panfish Assassin Tomato Seeds, and Berkley PowerBait Realistik 2" minnow shads in 9-15', down 5-6'.

    Great weekend and the kids had a blast. If they would only concentrate on fishing instead of smoochin'.

    Sounds like a great weekend!!!!! Maybe they should increase the limit to cull some of those crappie. They get many more spawns and you're size limit is gonna take a dive.

    Yup, I agree Fatman. The lake is fairly shallow. Only hit 25' in one spot w/ most ranging in the 7-12' depth. Very little structure also. I was not very optomistic about catching fish...boy was I wrong. Also as the lakes go up here, it is not very clear.
