My brother, a buddy and myself went up a few years ago during ice season. We didn't have any ice around here. Fishing was tough. Big crappie. A lot of little perch. Some gills, but nothing to brag about. I would pick an area on either lake and work it. That was are problem, we just saw all this water and went nuts. Big mistake. The area on the south end of Mitchell is good. The shallow flats just south of the canal on Cadillac is good as well. Like mention before, Pilgram Village is big help. That was were we stayed. Close to everywhere. Food, bait, ice and beer. Good luck. Keep eye on weather, snow squalls can pop up anytime...being so close to the big lake.
