bartolot Posted January 17, 2022 Posted January 17, 2022 I usually hit the northern part of LC in mid May but was thinking of going last week of April. What can I expect? Anyone have experience with SM or LM this time of year up there? Is is a good time to go? Thanks Quote
michaelb Posted January 27, 2022 Posted January 27, 2022 The water is very cold but the ice should be out. Prespawn and the fish may be harder to find. The weather is variable and can be bad. I stay near shore in April and so don’t target sm at that time i am looking for pike. Mid may is the start of peak. April is more of a challenge but still worh trying. Quote
stewa107 Posted January 27, 2022 Posted January 27, 2022 At the end of Apri you can get on big schools of big smallmouth on the north end. I take advantage of it with square bills and jerkbaits. It not uncommon for me to boat 20+ fish with several over 4 pounds. You will also be running into a bunch of pike. Quote
