Lake St. Clair Fishing Reports
Short report... Lake was bumpier than expected. Fished Mile Rds. in around 13?-18? of water. Tried cranks and nothing. I caught 2 over 3lbs. and a couple of small ones on a drop shot. Dan caught a few smaller smallies on a Ned Rig. Slow day.

Mexico Bass Fishing – The Adventure of a Lifetime!
My first adventure to the Mexican Sierra Madre mountains and Lake Comedero started with the biggest largemouth bass of my life and ended with a bigger one!!!
