    Default Need some advice!


    Would like to come up in June from Pittsburgh,Pa. for some good crappie fishing and maybe some walleye. Looking for one of your best crappie lakes with a nice resort with nice cabins, docks and a boat launch for my 16 foot Lund pro angler. Any help would be great!!!

    Houghton Lake! Outstanding crappie and walleye, with several resorts/cabins around the lake. Definitely worth checking out.
    It is not about the equipment you have to use,
    It is about how you use the equipment you have. :D

    Can you guys recommend some times and tactics to fish Houghton Lake for crappie? Such as times, tactics, locations? I've found them after ice-out in the spring in the canals, and I know the ice fishermen get them at one spot, but I'll be up there all of Thanksgiving week and all of Christmas week and would love to hit the crappies then for a day if possible. I've just never seen much in the way of crappie fishing this lake. It's not like it has stakebeds, stumps, or laydowns to fish that I'm aware of.

    We just held our fall Crappie Camp on Hamlin lake @ Ludington and had a great time and caught some nice fish. Walleye are good there too from what I understand...right Jimmy and Kev???? I know that June, especially early June can be dynomite for slabs on the spawn. Hamlin has a lot of nice resorts also.

    Life has many choices, eternity has two...choose wisely.

    I find it hard to target more than one species of fish, if there Walleye in that lake game on

    Never fished Houghton lake and herd its has a good population of fish, some other lakes to consider are Lake Cadillac/Mitchell, Gun Lake and I would agree with Don on Hamlin lake, all very nice lakes that will keep you busy catching fish.

    Let us know what you decide
