Cadillac

On lakes Cadillac and Mitchell due to the warm temperatures the fish have moved to deeper water. Crappie can be found in 16-20 feet of water and have been hitting Yellow jigs with red dot heads. The technique is a very slow jig to be successful. Bass is good, Pike is consistent and Walleye has been slow. On the river Salmon are beginning to show up and the Little Manistee is better.
