Gettin closer! Season is open Saturday!
Great weather today so I went for a drive and checked out some of the water around here.

1st 2 are Little Platte, 3-6 are Otter Lake and the last 3 are Bass Lake.
I'll have pics of the Betsie next weekend

Took the words right out of my mouth. Those lakes look like a great place to spend/fish the day!

MallenManson · 04-24-11, 05:13 PM

Definitely some nice water. There has to be 30 Bassin lakes within 1/2 hour of my house.
The water is so clean and clear around here it still amazes me.
I took pics of Little Platte 2 seasons ago. The water was absolutely smooth as glass. The way the clouds were reflecting on the water, it looked like an airbrushed picture.
If we could just come up with a way to grow bigger bass, maybe I wouldn't move away when it comes time to retire

Wow mallen, that's some GORGEOUS water man, looks almost like Florida flats. Wish I had something to take pics with of the lakes here, they're perdy too. 13 more days buddy, can't wait!

That water looks great, Mallen -- hope you nail a bunch of 'em once your season opens! Here are my best "smooth as glass" reflection shots from last year.

Those are AMAZING WB!!!!!!

Great pic's Mallen! I was up at Higgins this weekend. Water was beautiful today. It's just odd to see snow banks still around!

Thanks, Tom. Hopefully Mallen won't care if I hijack his thread with one more. This one is actually my favorite. Everything except the brown grass in the very tiny sliver at the bottom of the picture is a reflection shot of the lake. After I put it on my computer, I rotated it 180 degrees to try to make it look like a "real" tree instead of the reflection that it is.

MallenManson · 04-24-11, 09:21 PM

Thanks guys! I've never fished Higgins, MIB. Did a roof job on that lake though. The house was shaped like an H or maybe a U. Can't remember which. Gorgeous area.
WB.....WOW! That is an amazing pic! I gotta see if I can find the one I'm talkin bout.

MallenManson · 04-24-11, 09:53 PM

Here's the pic I was talkin about, and another from the same day

WatterBoy · 04-24-11, 10:15 PM

Yeah, those are sweet pics!

bamabassman · 04-24-11, 10:16 PM

truly beautiful mike. hard to believe it was covered in snow and iced over just a month or so ago.

Imgoodatwhatido · 04-24-11, 10:38 PM

LOL i HATE Crystal clear water!

Bender · 04-25-11, 01:06 AM

Here are a couple from where I was fishing today. Only caught a couple back in all this slop. Those lakes up there by Mallen are some of the clearest that I have seen.

Bubba_Bruiser · 04-25-11, 03:47 AM

Great pictures fellas. But I am ready for the Sue-EEEE! I wanna see Betsie!

WaffleJaw · 04-25-11, 09:52 AM
