I'm planning a week long trip to fish a few lakes I've never tried before. Anyone ever fish Lake Fenton? Is this the same as Seven Lakes? According to the description, they are in the same area, but I can't tell on my map of Michigan if they are part of the same system. I'm wondering if Fenton is a decent lake to fish. Thanks!

Rev, lake fenton has some good largemouth and smallmouth fishing. i have only been out there twice but caught fish both times. when you launch your boat, there is a nice hump straight out from the launch. this area gets some traffic and the fishing is kinda slow, but its worthwhile. first time i was out there, we toughed out the waves from other boats, and fished the hump with senkos and caught 4 bass over 3 lbs and one bass close to 4 lbs. we also caught a few smaller fish. all largies. we also tried the shoerline south of the launch and caught a few small keepers. there is a sand point out there to the north. up the shoreline a bit. there is an island close to it also. we caught some good smallmouth here on the weedline. the biggest one probably wasnt over 3 lbs, but we caught many in this size range. tubes, jerkbaits, senkos, and a PoorBoy darter jr all worked well for us. its a fun lake to fish, but it gets pretty crowded with water fleas and guys who like driving big boats in circles all day. is there a name for these people? anyway, if you get out there early you should do well. its a good night lake too. good topwater bite. 7 lakes i have never been on. i have a friend who fishes it tho. he said it is basically just some small ponds all connected. not the same as fenton lake. at least i really dont think so. fenton lake is off of torrey road and 7 lakes is off some side street from grange hall. good luck out there. if you decided to fish fenton and arent doing well, check out ponemah. i hear people say its a great lake, i just cant catch fish there.

Cool. I'll leave that one on my trip itinerary then. I'm taking 8 days and starting at Burt Mullet. Then I head South to Houghton, then South again to Fenton, with a stop at Orion. Should be a nice week. Hopefully the weather will be nice as I will be camping. I'll definitely give Ponemah a try if there isn't much happening at Fenton. Thanks for the advice.
