Rock Pile
The smallmouth have moved deep which eliminates a lot of water. Find deep rock piles in the outer realm of 20' or more. Caught a lot of big males on the metal. Enjoy

The back waters along the Detroit River provide excellent Largemouth Bass fishing as the water temps begin to cool in mid fall. It’s important to dial in your jerkbait to suspend perfectly and/or actually sink very very slowly. On Cloudy days I prefer a bigger bait like the Smithwick perfect 10 rogue in a opaque colour. Worked slowly close to deep water can lead to some very memorable days.
