I live in northville. I would troll the islands toward the middle of the lake.,early morning or late afternoon. The lake is really high and the islands provide allot of ambush cover. Look for areas that have close access to deeper water.,if u want to venture further, head north toward the bachelor file bridge. Go past the bridge until u hit the sharp bend in the lake.,hit that nm corner.,a nice creek comes in there and always holds northerns. A closer spot for u would be to head behind sand island and scout island.mthey are pretty much due east of u. Good luck.,I ice fish and spring fish the lake. This spring was exceptional, got many northerns over 42" and a few pushing 48"
