Major college fishing tournament to sink lines in Lake St. Clair, Lake Erie

It's the majors of college fishing! Lake St. Clair and Lake Erie are the hotspots this weekend, playing host to angler teams coming from the nation's center – everywhere from Kansas to Minnesota.

Excerpt:

"Nixon said that the teams fishing Lake Erie would be targeting the deep, isolated reefs and ridges while those choosing to fish Lake St. Clair would be searching for the massive schools of smallmouth.
  
"On St. Clair, it’s a lot of time spent trolling and letting the wind blow you around," Nixon said. "It can feel like you're just floating around in La La Land. Once you can locate the school and get on them you try to find what I call the mother lode. There may be a square mile of fish, but somewhere in that square mile is an area where they all are, and there will be a load of them. They're pretty consistent, and when you find an area, it can hold up for two or three days pretty easily."
