Island Lake Brighton

[52niner]

Has anyone Ice fished this lake? I've fished it once and did good on gills but I own some property on there and it is a private lake. I know I've slayed Bass, crappie and Gills out there, I read the stocking reports and they used to stock walleye but I've never caught one or a pike out of there.

I live around the cornner from that lake and have never caught eyes out there but have caught pike out there.  cant really tell where they out there but there in there.  Where on the lake do you live?

Well I don't actually live there it's a long story, but there was a condemed house here 42 30 38 27N 83 44 38 07W  and so I bought the land in hopes of building a house
well the city is giving me grief over drainage issues and lot size so I said screw it. I brought in 15 yards of sand and sodded the rest and called it a beach lol. Its on Island lake drive. You catch Superior Dr off of Grand River.

 What do you think about the fact that the DNR planted a pretty good amount of walley there but I've enver caught one. The population if there is one has to be almost non existant. I know its a good gill and crappie lake.
