Great Lakes Bass Fishing Forum

had the day off so I went to Wolverine lake this morning.  I think it is the only lake in our area with DNR access and no-wake until 11:00 am.   No other trailers at the launch so it was quiet.   Caught a nice keeper on my third cast.  Fished until noon and had 5 that went 14.5 on my scale.  All fish on a jig near shore or under boats.  Did catch quite a few in the pads. They seemed to like it swimming.   At 11:00 the skiers and jetskiis came out so it was like home.   

give it a try you will like it.


Lots of pike that eat jigs so take extras.

I like Wolverine for the no-wake rule.  Lots of docks on the lake but I can never seem to get them dock fishing.  I have had more success offshore in the deeper weed edges.  Plenty of gators in the lake for sure.

Middle Straits is in the same area I think and has a no wake until 11am on Sunday.  Went out there with my Belleville tourney partner the last two weekends.  Have caught more keepers out there than I have on Belleville all summer (then again, don't really know Belleville at all).  Nice lake.

Oops thought I put it in the right place. 

Might have to try Middle Straights.  Only about 2 miles from my house.  Do you still launch at Bloomer Park off Richardson road.   

yes for the launch at bloomer park. not the greatest thou.

we're to have a club team "fun tournament" at wolverine here in a couple of weeks..

I like the lake, dislike the single slot launch.

The concrete at the launch under the water isn't level, so whenever I take my boat off Wolverine it's always listing a little on the trailer.

I've fished Wolverine a few times this year and we caught some nice keepers on the deep weed edges. Seem to catch mostly dinks around the docs.
