MichiganBassman Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 There are a few guys on here from Michigan that throw swimbaits. I from Michigan. Big bass everywhere will eat swimbaits. Just gotta fish the right areas with the right baits. What area are you from? Kricketts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPEEDBEAD Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 First, make sure you are around fish. Swimbaits are not a magic bullet that make fish jump onto your line. Second, commit to throwing one or two proven baits in high percentage areas. Learn the nuances of each bait. How it feels when it contacts wood, rock, weeds, strikes from fish, etc. Third, read the newb thread on here. Fourth, read the newb thread again. So on and so forth....

Kricketts Posted July 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 Thanks guys I live in Mt. Pleasant, Mi. Guys have been catching big bass in Sanford Lake and Wixom lake. I generally tournament fish against those guys and they are keeping there secrets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boomah21 Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 I assure u they are not throwing Swimbaits.....at least not what most of us consider Swimbaits. Also if u are looking to turn these into tournament wins right away I would tell u it's doubtful...at least with any consistency. I'm from Rockford not too far from you if u have questions or want to see if it's for u before you drop a lot of money JTSwimbaitMan and gradycodd 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derds126 Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 I went out on Wixom not too long ago and was talking to a guy prefishing. I caught two fish that outweighed the 5 he caught. He was floored that I was throwing 5 inch baits let alone the 250 I had tied on. They aren't throwing big baits so we're throwing something different from everyone. Being different isn't enough, find key structure on the lake and fish it. Like Speed said, swimbaits aren't a magic bullet. You're not going to catch a big fish on swimbaits if you're not fishing where the big fish are. If you want, shoot me a pm, I'm in Saginaw.

CEOwen01 Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 I used to mess them up on the various small lakes within "Canadian Lakes" before I moved to San Diego. Not sure what is accessible to the public anymore but I think it's about 45 mins away from the Mt. Pleasant area if I remember correctly. It's been a long time and at one point the Northerns started taking over and the bass pop seemed to be stunted as compared to the late 90's. If you can get on the water over there I would assume you still have a shot at some good fish. I never saw any other small water produce like those lakes while I was living in MI.
