the only lakes on your route that i have any fishing experience in is batch and jesse. maria is just a quick pass through for us. batch is a semi clear/light stained water so bright naturals (silvers) and bright colors work best for cranks. make sure to troll the northwest shoreline right after you get into the lake if you want lakers. i heard lately red was a pretty hot color for lakers but ive never tried it myself. the narrows right before the beaver dam used to be an excellent smallie area because of the many large rocks, but when we went through there was some really nasty slimy stuff up in there so there werent any fish. jesse is a lake we have really hit hard over the years. im sad to inform you that you arent going to catch any bass there (i havent in 5 years of fishing there). its a walleye factory with a few northerns tossed in. jesse is really stained water, so youll want to avoid the translucent natural tones and go for really bright colors. white and chartreuse/milktruese(opaque chartreuse) have been the hot ticket on jesse. because of the dark tint, the water will be warmer so the fishing will be pretty active. also the tint really cuts down on the light penetration into the water, so you can catch walleyes on jesse all day long. look for reefs and submerged rocks. the water was super high on jesse so you cant see the usual reefs.
