[gillwacker1]

We had pretty good luck with the smelt Wednesday night on Gull Lake..Check out the Vex...Halix jigs and spikes seemed to work pretty good, got 165 in about 2 1/2 hours......

Hey Gillwacker, where is Gull Lake? What county?

[gillwacker1]

Gull Lake is located in Kalamazoo County....(we use the Prairieville Township Park access in Barry County to get on the lake....The lake is about 2000 acres...We we're fishing in about 64 FOW...(max depth of the lake is 110).....They say Gull Lake has 55 species of fish in it, which includes landlocked Atlantic Salmon.....Fun lake to fish...

Hope this helps....
