Chippewa river smallies

[jjjmpv22]

My buddy and went out on the Chippewa river for the first time yesterday and had a blast. We heard that there was a boat launch off of Chippewa rd just east of meridian rd. When we got there we were very surprised to see a kayak launch. Put your yak on it an slide right in. The river was beautiful and so were fish we caught. In all we caught 12 or so including my friends first smallmouth and one with some size. All of them were caught on Texas rig soft plastics on a 1/8 bullet weight. This will not be the last time I go to this spot.

Sounds like a good day....Meridian rd in what city?  There is a Meridian road in Okemos but I don't think the Chippewa river runs that far south...

He is talking about the Meridian rd in Midland County that eventually turns into M-30 the farther north you go. The Chippewa runs between Mt.Pleasant and the city of Midland into the tittabawassee river
