Taking a trip to Michigan with the family mid June. We will be staying at Pigeon Lake. Hoping to sneak away for a half day and get on some smallmouth unless there is enough action on Pigeon Lake to keep me occupied. Any suggestions on lakes close by that have a decent population? My internet research has been somewhat inconclusive. Looking to stay within an hour or so of West Olive. 

 

Also looking to rent a boat for the day if possible so if you have a suggestion I'm all ears. 

Pigeon lake and West Olive in Ottawa County? Muskegon lake and White lake, 30-45 min north of there, are probably the best smallmouth fisheries in the area.

Yep that's the one. Muskegon was the only other lake in the area I could find that seemed to be worth the trip and was still semi close. Thanks for the tip. I'll check out White lake as well.
