I have heard about the mile roads & the south shore for october smallmouth. How is the Northern part of the lake? Anchor bay, Fairhaven, Grassy Island area? Does these areas turn on in the shallows like the southern part of the lake? Small boat can't get around to easy....

Can you fish these areas fast with fast moving baits or do you need to slow down with jigs. Does one method outproduce another?

The patterns/techniques that were mentioned in the previous threads should hold true for the Anchor Bay area...for the entire lake for that matter. I, personally have more confidence/experience in the other areas you mentioned though. But I see no reason you shouldn't be able to do well in Anchor Bay.
