• Where to Fish on Nine Acre Lake

  No figure exists for depth, so let the water show you. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Across Muskegon County, recorded fish include bluegill, largemouth bass and yellow perch. Records at county level tell you what is around, not what is stocked here. On Nine Acre Lake that means starting tight and working out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Temperature averages peak at 69°F in July and bottom out at 22°F in January. A solid cap is the normal state through winter. Ice fishing carries the winter, and the water opens about early April. On average, early April opens the water and mid December closes it again. Look to early summer and the first cool weeks of autumn. Anyone fishing Nine Acre Lake regularly works to that calendar.
