Door County Wisconsin Smallmouth

[Riverwhy]

I spent Friday and a few hours Saturday morning fishing Lake Michigan for smallmouth. It was my first trip to the bays north of Green Bay on Lake Michigan and I was impressed with the fishing. It took me a couple of hours to pattern the fish Friday morning but finally found them in about 3 to 6 feet of water in the warmest parts of the bay with bottoms mixed with rocks, gravel and sand. They were obviously prepaing for a late spawn. I finished with 14 smallmouth over 16 inches with the personal best just shy of 20 inches. A three inch smoke colored grub fished slow was the key.
