When I had a car top boat I could put in to a shallow weedy section of the lake, the perfect early season spot, the water warm up quick, and the LMB were active, used sluggos and spooks, and always had action, AND there was no easy boat launches, so I had that spot all to my self. By may the weeds were so thick it wasn't fishable. Since the outfit I worked for had a warm water discharge into lake michigan, I'd just walk out the back gate, and catch cohos and trout till my arms got tired. With the bigger boat it was trolling for salmon.Later yellow perch and SMB. 8 natural lakes near by, and a great river in western mich. for anything you wanted, I mostly had three boats, nothing fancy, but suited for a particular trip.
