Great Lakes Bass Fishing Forum

I had a work meeting on the eastside of the state today, so I decided to take the boat and fish after work. Being only my 3 rd time out on LSC, I really have no clue where to go, so I went to Anchor Bay again. First I fished some waypoints in the middle where I had got into fish before....nada. So then I went to a buoy in between the north and south channel that produced in the past as well.....again nothing... So then I went to the north channel and was going to run up there until I realized that it was no wake in the channel, and I didn't feel like taking the time to putz up that channel, so I just fished the sea walls near the mouth of the channel, and managed a pike. So then I decided to run further north in anchor bay, and got to 9 FOW and just drifted with the wind, and finally hooked up with a 3.8 pound smallie, I was thinking things were going to turn around.....but 2 hours later and not another fish! So then I headed to a new area north of the metro park launch. It was about 7-8 feet deep here with some good weeds on the bottom, my 3rd or 4th cast with a jerk bait and I got a keeper largemouth, and then another 2 largemouths before it got dark...the biggest being 2.5 pounds, overall it wasn't that the fishing was bad...the fish I caught inhaled my baits, the problem was I couldn't find the fish to fish to!

Fall is definitely about location and I think this year location is a little different than normal too. As long as you keep learning from each trip. The bass are out there. I hope I can get over the sometime this month to look for them. Thanks for sharing your fishing report!
