Four Michigan waters are listed today on Bassmaster Magazine’s list of the Top 100 Best Bass Lakes in the US. Local anglers may or may not agree; they always have their secret spots, but the editors of the magazine said they spent months consulting with natural resource agencies and wading through the nominations from BASS members.

The Michigan waters on the top 100 Best Bass Lakes are: Lake Erie, Lake St Claire, Lake Michigan and Lake Charlevoix. Lake Erie ranked fourth after  Falcon Lake, Texas;  Lake Okeechobee, Florida;  and Lake Guntersville, Alabama. Lake St Clair ranked 13th on the list. To see the entire ranking check out: Bassmaster.
