I might be spending alot of time in coldwater, Michigan this summer with my family. I would be on craig lake, just wondering how the bass fishing is on that chain of lakes.I fish in pinckney, michigan alot on portage chain, and halfmoon chain, just wondering if there simuler with alot of boat traffic like on portage chain on the weekends.

 Craig lake if my memory serves me right is on the Randall Chain,right? Awesome chain of lakes. They can be hit or miss as anybody of water,but spit out some big largemouth and occasionaly Ive seen a few big smallies. My favorite lake to fish on the chain is randall lake. Tons of offshore structure and killer weedlines. Its a great crankbait lake at times. Soft plastics(senko,jigs) worked up shallow always produce there. Im sure youll have any easy time of finding fish. Got anymore questions hit me back.Im sure i can look back and have a few more specifics if you need them._skeeterman-

Jeff, if you'll be staying at Waffle Campground.  You may want to consider going down river.  Take a right going out of the ramp.  It's really neat area with lots of laydowns, and secluded wooded area along the way.  It's a long trip down river at idle speed.  So make sure your motor doesn't over heat along the way.

Like mentioned above, there are tons of good fish in that lake.  Here's a link to a picture gallery just for that chain of lakes.
