Smallmouth

I usually make a trip up every year for smallmouth on elk creek the weekend before Memorial Day weekend. I'm starting to wonder if there are more densely populated waters to fish. We always do good and catch fish but the fish are very spread out. Can anyone point me in a different direction? We wade fish and do not have access to a boat. We usually stay above RT 5 and fish to the legion.

Ok so further downstream would be better?

They are refering to the piersvalong the chanel that seperates erie bay from the lake.

I caught 8 in 2 hrs at the access area, and the guys at the mouth did much better. All mine came on roostertails.
