Great Lakes Bass Fishing Forum

Fished PM on Thursday . Caught around 15 smallies all in 10-20' of water on plastics, with only one fish, which was our biggest, on a spinnerbait up shallow. Water temp was 60 degrees. Couldn't make the All-Star tourney bc of a prior commitment but was able to fish with my brother on Saturday at Hubbard. We were expecting a great day with prefrontal conditions but really had to grind to put 5 fish in the boat. I caught a nice largemouth which aren't very common there on the 2nd cast on a spook but that was it for topwater. We caught 4 smallies over the next few hrs all on tubes & jigs. Didn't have any action on jerks or spinnerbaits. My bro caught 4 crayfish on a tube which explains why those fish are so chunky & healthy in that lake. We left around noon & fished another lake for largemouths. Temps on Hubbard were 60-62. Things are shaping up nicely for the Madwags. Unfortunately I have to miss it but will be heading up to Mullett 10/12-14. Good luck at Manistee.
