I've always heard of some decent pike being taken from Reeds Lake in East GR.

Green lake over by Wayland has big pike. Kinda few and far between
from what I hear though.

heh lol, ive fished miner lake for over 20 years and have never caught a pike out of there. I haven't even seen one come to think of it. I have talked to some people saying they have caught some, but i imagine if there are a lot in numbers there that they are in deep water. I always bass fish there, but have never come across a pike, i dont know how one has never hit any of my bass baits after that long of fishing the lake.

Miner Lake does have some pike, but it isn't an easy fishery at all. People do better through the ice than the open water season. The fish move very deep during the summer. I've spent much time there during my youth (family lives on the lake), and have seen a couple caught… not many though.

I FORGOT TRY GUN LAKE….
I GUESS THE PIKE POPULATION HAS REALLY BOUNCED BACK,I HAVE A GOOD SOURCE(FAMILY)..THAT A FATHER/SON TEAM HAVE HAD UP TO A 18 FISH DAY(ALL 20-28 THOUGH)TROLLING THE MAIN BASIN HUMPS/POINTS AND WEEDLINES WITH JUST SMALL BASS/WALLEYE LURES..

The lake isn't in SE Grand Rapids, but also not that far away. Try Wabasis. It's a pike factory. I've had 9-15 pike days there, though most were on the small side. However, I know of several 36-40" fish caught by friends. My biggest there was a 36.
