Michigan Smallie trip

Post by kzoo » Mon May 26, 2008 8:41 am

Just got back from my annual Smallie trip. Every year, we go for a week of smallie fishing at the northern part of Michigan for the smallie spawns. This year the weather was tough, they were spawning when we got there, but second day into the trip, it was pretty much windy, cold and cloudy until the last two days of the trip, the last day was the best weather, fish were coming up. Caught quite a bit of 3 to 4 lbers, but no 5 between me and my partner. Oh well, that's fishing. Still had a great time.

This lake was recommended by KVD on a Bassmasters magazine. I never met the guy, but he and I grew up in the same town.
