What tournament is that? Team Supreme championsip. Do you know when they release their schdule for next year? I heard something about having 6 of them out of Lansing.
Yes it’s the team supreme tournament. I haven’t heard anything about next year’s schedule yet. Should be coming out very soon though.
Hello, and yes I have. Unfortunately, my expertise lies with the fall and late spring fishing. Mostly night, to boot! My tournament/prefishing luck at the Rock is not so hot in March. I know that the Aunt’s Creek or Indian Creek areas are good early spring areas. Depending on when in March you are going (H2O temp), I know the baits of choice seem to be Rogues and the new Lucky Craft lures which are similiar, but much more expensive. These guys that seem to kick butt are out there twitching them(suspending minnow lures if you are not familiar with them) after they crank them down. The speed of crank/stop/twitch or twitch/twitch has to be experimented with to pin down there activity level. Usually, the slower the better. Probably why I can’t stand to throw them!! The importance of a neutrally suspended lure can not be overstated. At the very worst, a very slow rise during the pause. If it continues to sink, just doesn’t seem to work. As far as what part of these creeks, you probably know as I. WATER TEMPERATURE is so important. You might be fishing main lake points, or if they have moved on back some, maybe secondarys. Hope this helps a little.
Hey Jason , I use to go down there every spring and fish for bass and trout . When I was there Clown huskey jerks were hot and some real oddball colores like gold sides green back.I pretty much stayed with clown because I hated to pay 25$ for a custom bait. Make sure they suspend well cast to rocky points,if you can find a cedar tree next to a point that is a plus(standing timber). Cast out and work it down next to the tree and let it set there till you can’t stand it and then jerk it and let it sit some more. The best way to think of it is like fishing a worm horizontally. When the water is colder than 50 degrees the bass are not even looking for craws ,the stick baits are about the only game in town . Some times speed is a trigger so it payes to mix it up. DV 
I am not sure how much help this will be for you but some friends and I go down the first week of April every year and fish. With temps right around the upper 40’s to lower 50 degree range we fish main lake points with Storm Wiggle Warts. If you would like to know any more as far as areas or anything else you can PM me and I would be happy to tell you what I know about the lake.
Thanks for the insight guys! I’ll be heading down there the third week in March. Sounds like I better stock up on the suspending jerkbaits!
You guys talking about the suspending baits reminded me of something I stumbled on while guiding up to Mille Lacs this year.
I always tune my baits during the day light before going out each evening. They’re pretty darn tough to work with in the dark so I get that taken care of while the lighting is good. I had a couple – 3 cranks that were just hot as a pistol, catching fish consistently, while other cranks, same pattern that I had tuned, caught little if anything. It was so noticable that it began to bug me a bit so I really took the time to play with the ones that weren’t working very well prior to going out the next night.
Those “dud” cranks ran great… but didn’t suspend. A couple floated back up. Not as fast as a true floater but I certainly wasn’t giving the fish what they wanted with that pair… and the other crank sank slowly. I’m not sure how the weighting got so screwed up, they likely came from the factory that way, but I had never really checked to see which cranks suspended correctly and which didn’t. One more thing to watch for I guess when little things are paying huge dividends.
