Hit Otter Lake for the first time this season, this afternoon.
Only out there for an hour and a half before the rain had me paddlin for shore

Went with the trusted Otter Lake spring bait. Spro Aruku Shad (absolutely love that bait!)

Not a bad Friday. Especially considering that Bama was at work!

Last one went 3.6

Nice fish Mike!...Water looks really clear!

Jrob78 · 05-06-11, 08:45 PM

An hour well spent!

Marc David · 05-06-11, 08:45 PM

Great fish! I agree with WF, I clicked on the 3rd picture and that is some clear water.

MallenManson · 05-06-11, 09:00 PM

Thanks guys! Yeah the water is really clear around here. And those pics are taken on an overcast day.
Just discovered that lake last year, using GPS coordinates to finally find out where it was.

It's a no motor lake, so it doesn't get a lot of pressure.

Nice fish Mike!

It really is amazing how clear some of the lakes in Michigan are. I'd like to get up in MI to do a little fishing before the AL get together, but it probably won't happen.

That water is so clear that if Woody would fall in it and lose his cell phone he would have no trouble recovering it lol.

Tavery5 · 05-07-11, 10:43 PM

That was not part of my plan LOL.

keithdog · 05-09-11, 07:00 AM

Now thats a great way to spend 90 minutes on the water. If you have any, I'd like to also see some scenic pics of the lake. It sounds like a pretty place to spend a day.

Bassboss · 05-09-11, 07:49 PM

Very nice, looks like I'm still really doin pretty blah compared to ya'll, lol.
