Guys and Gals, I just wanted to say that I am super excited to go into detail about small mouth fishing on Lake Michigan and I thank all of you for your continued support in fishing! its going to be a great time, I will be covering smallmouth fishing from spring to summer (Early Prespawn, Prespawn, Spawn, Post-Spawn, and Summer) and all the different techniques I use on Lake Michigan for Smallmouth Bass. 

Is there anything you would like me to include in the seminar?
