Alright Guys and Gals I have Put together my master Calendar and I have some open weekends and I want to know what the best lakes are in Michigan. So, let me know where I can get some lunkers on my weekends off. These lakes can be anywhere in Michigan but I want to know where I can find the biggest and Badest Bass in Michigan. Thanks Guys
Smallies - Grand Traverse Bay and Burt/Mullett Lakes - Fall is best for Burt/Mullett after with the end of May to mid June next best; GT Bay a little later for spawn and can be good during the summer off and on.
Lake Ovid all summer.
Grand Traverse Bay, last week of June. Big water, BIG smallies.
Crystal Lake, first week of June.
Also in the area; Duck, Green , Long and Leelanau, all summer.
IMO the best bass lake in the state.......Indian, Cass county.
You have to try wixom lake. There is every possible pattern you could fish available on this lake. I have caught good numbers of bass from this lake all through out the season. Also there are some pigs in that lake that have probably never seen a lure if you decide to hunt them down between the esty and highwood road bridges.
Fletcher Pond from July to September..........bring heavy line & big baits.? ?You will not be sorry.
Bar none.......the best BIG largemouth lake in the State.........for numbers of 4 - 6 lbers.
Long Lake, Cheboygan County. June & Sept, Oct.
Honestly, since we don't have Florida strain 10 pounders up here, I think the 4+ pound smallies in Lake St. Clair is the best fishing Michigan has to offer. I got one nearly 6lbs last year that was the best bass fight I ever had. Got him on 10lb line. What a blast!
If you will be fishing on weekends, Fletcher Pond really is a great place for big largemouth. Due to the thousands of water hazards jet skis and pleasure boats will not be a problem even on a weekend. Awesome place to fish. Big nasty jigs and big nasty green bass!
