    That is what I experienced a few years back but only made the drive twice.

    It's possible the lake has cycled and is better for crappies now. As far as a crappie rally I wouldn't over look Center lake- fishing can be tuff if you can't make ther run up to Ocelot, also consider Kent lake- another no wake lake that has a good population of slabs but no camping that I know of and may also require permit.Devils lake has a awsome crappie population but can be a horrible lake for traffic but not as bad as belliville wich I fish all the time and can be very frustrating. Also hearing some wispers about whitmore latley but it to has a reputation for toothy critters that can cause huge swings in the crappie there.


    A get together sounds fun depending on location and time of year. If its in dead summer you could have everyone in the same sweetspot:D

    Default If everyone is specifically talkin' crappie...

    and distance is less of an issue than I originally thought, Gun lake south of Grand Rapids is a very good lake. Lots of contours/flats/etc. Just depends on how far people want to travel. Again, it not a "no wake" lake but the times I went it wasn't real bad. There is a campground there too if people want to make it a weekend type thing.

    Default thats a good one

    never really fished Gun Lake only for the reason its a good size lake and haven't taking the time to learn that lake. I always here from people that there is some good crappie fishing in that lake and as Y.D said there is a state camp ground there, it has my vote

    Default I ran into some guys last year...

    that fish it a lot. They pulled out there lake map and let me copy some additions that they made, so I have some good detail on rock piles, etc. I know where the fish like to hang in several places now.

    and I'll give ya the scoop. Prolly not possible for everyone, but sure would be nice to fish that lake on a week day (less traffic). Unless of course we are going to do it earlier in the season before all the PB's get on the water.
