Day 223
You know it's hot out when the Houghton Lake locals go to Walmart on Saturday because it's air conditioned. Not to buy air conditioners mind you, just to get cooled off before going back home.
It was a perfect weekend for BBQ's. Hot, dry and sunny with just a slight breeze.
Word is the fishing has improved over the past week. Bluegill have started to bite. If you've never caught a bluegill your really missing out. They great eating. Plus once per once they are the hardest fighters in the lakes. Many people like to fish for bass for the fight, bass grow to be several pounds.
If you can get your hook into a 10" bluegill, you'll believe you have a 15" bass on the line. And as I said the bluegill is great eating, not so the bass.
Lake St. Helen (just a short trip east of Houghton Lake) is known for some of the best bluegill fishing and even has a festival in honor of the feisty fish. This year the festival is July 14-17. For more info click here St Helen Bluegill Festival 2016.
Until tomorrow,
Ken
