Popular Fish Species Mullett Lake, MI
Walleye
Walleye grow big and healthy in Mullett Lake. According to reported walleye tournaments, anglers are catching fish averaging over 2 1/2 pounds. Jigs, spoons, spinners and deep-diving crankbaits, like the Bandit, are all catching nice walleyes. When walleye fishing I prefer to focus on water in the 10' to 35' range .Trolling the west side of the lake from the Grand View Beach to Silver Beach has delivered a lot of quality fish lately.
Smallmouth Bass
Mullett Lake is has some exceptional smallmouth bass fishing, especially in the Fall. The lake is well populated and smallies are aggressively competing with each other for food. You can use virtually any bass lure, and catch plenty of smallmouth. My favorite is a mid-range crankbait, like the Rapala DT-6, in crawfish colors.
Yellow Perch
According to reports by locals, nightcrawlers cut into small pieces, as well as mealworms and maggots are a good choice for live bait here. Ice fishing is popular and fishing activity is very favorable. During war months of summer, there are other locals catching nice yellow perch on small spoons and spinners.
