I just came back Saturday from summer vacation to Loons Landing on Dry Pine Bay, Part of the French River, Here is some Pics:

My Brother, My 8 Year old Niece, Me and my mom in boat getting ready to go out at Roughly 6:30 AM on Monday:


First Catch of trip, a Pike my brother caught during first trip out in boat:


My first catch of the trip, Sunfish, caught and released 4 like this one in a row in the same spot within minutes of each other (Second one didn't make it), this is Sunfish #1:


After Sunfish, Came a Small Perch a few feet over in the same spot:

Next Day, I Caught my 3rd (And Last) Big One of the trip, a Pike (Was Thinking of Musky due to bars/stripes on it), My Mom and Niece also got their first Big Ones, a Smallmouth and Either a Largemouth or Big Smallmouth Bass, Pic is of all 3 on the Stringer (Note: I Lost My Brother's lure I used to catch all 3 of my fish with that boat ride, Went to Cast and SNAP! Snapped the line and bye bye lure that caught my first Big Fish):


Picked up 3 Lures at the French River trading post, never got to test them out in boat therefore never caught fish with them, They are: Williams Wobbler 1/2 oz Silver Honeycomb, Blue Fox Vibrax Spinner Blade Size 2 3/16 oz Firetiger/Firetiger and a Storm Kicking Minnow Perch, total cost after taxes for the 3 Lures Was $21.09:
