Another northern Michigan smallie beatdown

Featured Replies

Menderchucked spinnerbaits all day. Battled smallcraft advisories, water crashing over the bow of the boat all day, 40F high temps, and the worst wind I've experienced on a body of water. 12 hrs on the water was so worth it!

It's amazing how much the big lakes wreak havoc on the weather here --almost anything can happen, anywhere, at any time.  I've lived here 10 years, a couple hours south & west of you, and I'm still just trying to get used to it...

With just a casual google search I don't find a lot about Menderchuck, so I guess I need to dig deeper.  One information source states that Lake Menderchuck is private, but you and your buddies are fishing it and A-Jay seems to go there now and then.  My state's record for smallmouth is 7 lb 2 oz but we rarely see a smallie over 5 lbs.  I have decided that I need to learn a lot more about Northern Michigan because you guys are simply catching some beasts up there!.  :)

Ya man all the Menderchuck lake's up here are all  smallmouth sanctuaries! Let me and @A-Jay know if you ever get permission to fish em.
