North of St. Johns is the Maple River floodings. Did good there years ago. Also you can wade over in Saginaw bay and kill a bunch over there. Might be able to come up with some more options for ya. What part of the state are you looking at?

Put on some waders and head out to my house this summer, we can walk the river, most of it out here is just a few feet deep and we can smoke a bunch of carp. Lot of spots on Holloway you can set up on shore and throw out a few cans of corn and the carp and suckers will come in.

I don't know where you're located but I've got a spot in Milford ya don't need a boat and ya can see the carp swimming like submarines. A pair of wader will suffice.

Thanks guys I am from the flint area. I was going to bowfish mott lake but they have a bunch of sh@#ty rules. You can't bowfish from shore in any genesee county park land. I fish the old timber wolf camp ground ponds for bass all the time and would love to bowfish it but the park rangers said its illegal. Would love to do some shootin from shore!!

Outdoor junkie. Let do it. Season opns may 1st. Whenever you want bud, gotta find my equiptment, it's i nthe garage somewhere. We used to go up to the bay and walk the shallows when the carp were spawning. You could shoot them big pigs all day, and gar. We might have to give that a whirl this spring.

Sounds good. What bout walleye fishin out there? If your talkin in the Flint, it opens the last Saturday of April and it's game on, usually easy to pull a limit every time for a month or so.

I try to stay away from there, too many idiots and too many baby fish. i call it the nursery. I fish alot of private property out this way, and in Montrose and north. Alot of times I just put on the waders and I can go anywhere I want. Park at Mt. Morris road and head north, or I got permission to hunt the orchard in Montrose and thats a great little hole.
