Follow the current
There’s a lot written about bass fishing current in lakes and manmade reservoirs. It’s something that we all know is important. But how many of us really understand it? I suspect not very many.
Remember the kids
Recently I had a chance to spend some time with a young man I met a few years ago at an ICAST show.
Wheeler Lake on a roll
Wheeler Lake used to be the place to go when you wanted lots of action with 12- to 15-inch bass. Now it’s also producing the heavyweights.
Life in a tail spin
If your bass fishing is in a downward spiral, perhaps it’s time to go retro with bait selection. Elite Series pros explain why the old tailspinner still deserves a place on your casting deck.
Two is good (but sometimes three is better)
Don’t let the lack of a spare anything ruin your tournament or your fishing trip.
Fish Michigan’s Lake Superior
If you’d like a remote fishing adventure that you can drive to, put Bay Mills in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula on your to-do list. Here you can launch in Lake Superior’s Whitefish Bay, and you can visit one of the oldest lighthouses on the Great Lakes.
Fish Michigan’s Lake Huron, Saginaw Bay
As with many other areas of the Great Lakes, gobies have caused the smallmouth bass in the bay to pack on weight.
Fish Michigan’s Lake Michigan, Grand Traverse Bay
A short drive from the Sleeping Bear Dunes and ranked No. 9 on Bassmaster’s 100 Best Bass Lakes of 2014, Grand Traverse Bay has long been a trophy smallmouth mecca.
Fish Michigan’s Lake Erie
The habitat here is unlike the reef fishing done elsewhere on the big lake.
Fish Michigan’s Lake St. Clair
The short drive from the metropolis of Detroit to the Lake St. Clair Metropark takes you from concrete and bustling traffic to a fishing resort atmosphere.
