Bandersnatch Posted April 29, 2021 Posted April 29, 2021 We have a guys trip in mid August that we typically go to Canada for. Admittedly were all much better largemouth fisher than smallmouth. We tend to enjoy fishing for largemouth on structure but than can be a little hard to find for a full week's trip in michigan in August. We are considering staying on mullet and fishing that chain or going tibst Clair. I've only fished mullet once but really struggled locating smallmouth and getting them to eat. If you were picking between the two, where would you go and why? I appreciate any help. And, if you know if some reliable deep summer places for smallmouth or largemouth let me know! Ps. I suck at smallmouth fishing and really enjoy pitching to targets for largemouth, not a lot of good places I can find to do that up north in August ? Quote
Michigander Posted April 29, 2021 Posted April 29, 2021 I'll take Burt over Mullet for smallies every day. There's a lot of pitching opportunity in the connective waters between the two and into the Green River (I think it's the Green anyway). St Clair has visible cover too around docks and back into the reed areas. Water can get pretty rowdy in both areas but there's smaller lakes around. Less so around St. Clair though. Quote
bitemyworm Posted July 4, 2021 Posted July 4, 2021 Sorry for the tardy response. Can't speak to to LSC, but Burt has some bruisers, some would say frumious. Indian River between Burt and Mullett can be good fishing too, particularly is there's been a tournament recently because a lot of tourneys weigh in by the river; hence, the fish are released there and some stick around.

Wildbillb Posted July 4, 2021 Posted July 4, 2021 LSC would be my choice. Way more opportunity in the backwaters and channels. Plus musky. LSC has tons of nice largemouth. Just not many fish for them Quote
