OK Splashy. Based on our conversation a while ago I'm taking the gang from work to Hamlin Lake for our annual fall walleye trip. We have reservations at a resort on Upper Hamlin for the first week of October. 4 boats, 8 guys. If the fishing sucks we can blame it all on you. You'd better tell me everything you know about depth, lure color, GPS coordinates, trolling speed and bait selection just to be safe. ;D DNR stocking report show that a lot of walleye have been planted there and it also looks great for perch, pike, bass, gills, and specks.

I really appreciate it bud. I think this is gonna be a good trip. With 4 boats we can cover a lot of your spots quickly. Hopefully the walleye will be ready to play.

Should be a good time for ya guys. That time of year you can start to change things up as far as presentation for the eyes. You will also probally run into a few nice gills and perch as well. Hamlin is a diverse lake so you can always catch something. Good luck!

Thank Dave. The annual walleye trip in early October is a tradition at work going back many many years. We've been to Tahquamenon River, Burt Lake, Long Lake (Interlochen), Hubbard Lake, and last year we went to Hardy Dam Pond just because it was convenient. I probably missed a couple of lakes too. I sure hope we do well at Hamlin because it's close to home and the accomodations look awesome.

Don't know about now, but there used to be a resteraunt you can dock your boat at on the south end of the lake (sw corner). Great breakfast!

Never been up that way on roads. If you are looking for bars, you'll have to go into Ludington. As for up that way by water, it get fished a lot during ice season, but open water it's the "playground".

North Bayou Resort has a bait shop, but no beer. Probably going to have to stock up on beer in Ludington at Prevos

It's getting very close now Splash. We're heading up Wednesday at noon. The weather looks like it's going to be a little bit too nice for fall walleye, warm and sunny. Did you ever do much fishing after dark there?
