I hear a jerkbait over 100 ft of water works.... You asked for any info or any places to start. You also mentioned you would be pre-fishing for a couple days, using his suggestion on bait and color along with basic pre-fishing tactics and research and you should be able to put something together. What info were you looking for, neon pink senkos under the 3rd dock from the 1st pontoon on the east side of the lake?!?! Good luck

Check the Bird's Eye view of the lake from HERE. (http://maps.live.com/default.aspx?v=2&FORM=LMLTCP&cp=42.606421~-83.362198&style=h&lvl=14&tilt=-90&dir=0&alt=-1000&scene=24283200&phx=0&phy=0&phscl=1&encType=1)
I don't know the lake very well only fishing it a couple of times but drop shotting off the humps seems to be the best method from what I hear.

My suggestion would be to get a stick and use it on whoever picked Cass Lake for your tournament. ;D ;D

I would agree with DD. Expect fishing to be tough. There is alot to choose from. Bring and open mind and all your tricks.

If all else fails, pack it up and head to St. Clair. You are almost there anyway and it would be a shame not to fish one of the greatest smallmouth fisheries in North America when you are so close.

Just drive around and let your lower unit find them for you.  :'( Actually I have never hit bottom, but know people who have. You can see them all from that link to the aerial photos. The water is SUPER clear and you can see everything when you are on the water.
