yeah,just moved up here about 3 1/2 years ago.I have just gotten back into fishing again and i was wonder what lakes are around here near canton?

I've been to lake erie(just to find it and fished it only an hour,plan to go back in the spring time)
belleville lake,ain't catching much out of that lake
ford lake i believe it is,right off rawsonville road and I-275.I've been catching nice 1-2 pounders there.so right now this is my favorite lake.

any suggestion of where might more lakes or ponds i could go?

Much appreicated!

Too many to list.  Here is a link to the Michigan DNR list of lake maps.

Do you have a boat?  If so, what kind?

welcome to the forum matt.
i live in canton also, & you touch based on couple of the lakes in this area w/belleville & ford. yes bellville is tough and i just getting to know it this year. ford never been on. other lakes near by is whitmore, portage chain (pickeney) and halfmoon and you can get to any off of highway us23. just look at a map to getting there. like mentioned the dnr site as lake maps for all, plus a section on boat launches w/maps to get to.
taking it you have a boat?
if it feels good - SET THE HOOK!!

Matt, Since you limited to the shore, try under the bridge at Ford Lk. There is a parking area not to far away, and just a short walk. It's my favorite place to catch Walleye, and always pick up a few 1-2lb smallmouth there as well. I use Maribu jigs, or a small jig head and a worm trailor,  just bring a lot, tons of snags down there.

Matt, if you want to get fully addicted to St. Clair, come on out in the spring with me sometime.  Would be glad to have ya along.  For now, try Kent.  It's not that far and is a nice lake to walk around.

Might I sugest getting in touch with the Michigan Federation Nation? There are probably clubs in your area that welcome new members. Most do not require you to have a boat.  Links are available from www.bassmaster.com. Bass clubs are a great place to learn from other people and also have a chance to move on to bigger things. I made the Indiana State team last year and really enjoyed making it to the regional championship at lake La Homma Deau in Minnesota (Although Terry McWilliams beat me out). Still a great experiance and one I hope to be able to do again.
