Mr. Whipple

anybody

I fished Big and Little Portage this weekend and did OK but would like to find better quality fish. We caught several little smallies and a couple of 1.5 - 2 largemouth. I would like to good back this coming weekend. I hoping some can give some pointers to get me on better quality fish. We mainly fished 8-12 fow near weeds and sharp drop offs. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

That would be correct ;D See you all down there 8-)

just under 10 lbs, but due to the weather it wasn't bad. All but one came off Coldwater, the other was just outside the channel on the next lake up. The fish came from the southwest cove on the east side on the flats. More specifically the weedy lanes running up to the docks the boats use to get to the deeper water.

Thank you for your help. We ended up winning. The website you sent me to helped a ton. FYI- we caught all of our keepers on a Yo-Zuri Rattl'n Vibe. ;D

Our League has decided to have our Classic on Coldwater Lake this weekend and between fishing and the kids have not had a chance to pre-fish . Any help would be welcomed. Lures/colors/lakes/locations. Thank you

Austin Lake is the best smallmouth fishery in Michigan other than the Great Lakes
