Ya. Most the fish I catch are usually while casting on the banks but most spots are too thick to cast from. I stay out of the water as much as I can but in some holes it's just not possible. I will try the downstream drift I have not tried that as much as casting up stream.

I live on a small river in Michigan. Average depth is about 3 feet and averages about 14 feet across. I catch nice smallmouth and pike out of it almost every time I fish it. The only problem I have is that when I wade it, I spook a lot of fish. I walk upstream and downstream but seem to spook fish either way. Any advice on how not to spook them?

I think I am going to either start a club at Ferris State or join Michigan States club.

Has anybody ever heard of the College Bass League ran by the National Guard and FLW. Free entry fees, fish on pros boats, and travel expenses are all paid for. Seemed too good to be true until my buddy joined a club up at Central Michigan. http://www.collegefishing.com/ I found it really interesting and I'm excited to start or join a club soon.

Hey everybody my name is Erik from Lansing, MI. I'm 19 I have two 14ft Aluminum boats and love smallmouth fishing in rivers. I run cross country and track at the local community college and fish between that and school. God Bless.
