Originally from Pennsylvania, but I've recently moved to the Ann Arbor, MI area and looking forward to the upcoming fishing season. Anyone know of any good bass spots relatively close? Unfortunately I don't have a boat at the moment so anywhere with at least halfway decent bank/shore fishing would be ideal

just started fishing the ned rig this year and have been having great luck with it so far. caught my pb on one few weeks ago. I've been going with a super simple set up. 6'6" medium light rod, 8 lb stren mono line, 1/4 oz head, and trying all kinds of plastics, but the one that seems to work the best for me is bass pro elite chunk in black with blue flake. I'm sure others on here have more info on ned rigs than I do but I can tell you I've caught plenty of nice looking largemouth the past couple months on a nice and simple set up. I cast it as far as I can parallel along the bank, let it sink and work it back nice and slow with twitches and long pauses and they hit it. Hope that helps. Best of luck.

I'd say just about the same thing. Anything of decent size and above I land just about every time but the real tiny ones find a way off now and then. Not complaining about that though, saves me the trouble of getting the hook out.

looking to get an affordable boat for bass fishing. I'm just wondering if anyone has any experience with 2.5 hp outboards on a 10-12 foot jon boat. I'm not looking for tremendous performance, just wondering roughly how fast it would go with 2 people and minimal equipment on board
