    Default 2024 Michigan spring camp


    We (steelguy, vbottom and me) are getting together on Tuesday to nail down the details for our annual spring camp. Stay tuned for all the details. Hoping to have it in early May to hit the spawn but exact date is TBD.

    The 2024 Michigan CDC spring camp will be held May 3-5 at Sharp Park Campground, 8551 Deep Lake Road, Middleville, Mi. They are willing to reserve a block of sites for us and they would like the sites reserved and paid for by mid January. I plan on camping Thursday through Sunday and Jeff and John are doing the same. The sites are full hook up and are 47.00 a night.

    Anyone that plans on attending please make a post here so I can contact Sharp Park and let them know how many sites we need. I will then post the site #'s and each camper will need to contact Sharp Park to put their name on a site and make payment. This will need to be done no later than the third week in January. Their web site is campsharppark.com and will have all the info you need.

    We moved the date to early May to try and hit the spawn. There are quite a few very good crappie lakes within 30 minutes drive, both for numbers and size. I'll post some pictures of some of the crappie we caught from these lakes last spring. Name:  38835.jpg

Size:  100.6 KBI'm hoping that some of the out of stater's can join us for the weekend. Friday evening will be Liars Club and a main course will be provided. Bring a dish to pass and your own drinks. We decided to forgo the Saturday crappie tournament but will still have the fish fry Saturday evening. Bring a dish to pass for this as well. Paper products and plastic ware will be provided. I will bring my fish cooker, fish coating and potatoes for home made fries.

    Hope to see lots of you there.

    Hold off on contacting them for now until I get the sites reserved. I talked with them yesterday and we agreed that as long as it's done by January 26 we will be fine. As of nowwe have you and steelguy(John) on sites and me and Jeff in the 2 person dry cabin.

    According to their sight they only have the one cabin, with plans for another dry cabin that will sleep 6. I found a couple motels within 10 to 15 miles of the campground. If I get to go I will stay in one of those and hang out with the group as much as I can.
