Traverse City Fishing Spot

Posted on July 30, 2014 by Storm Hawk Sportfishing

One thing is for sure. Traverse City has no shortage of fishing spots. That was very clear today, we had a blast fishing them! It was different than a normal trip as it seemed everything went wrong. The guys were laughing at me as I was trying to piece it together. Well plan A didn’t work… Plan B well that worked for a bite.. The dreadful plan C was in order and I sure wish I started with plan C!!! We were sitting on just a few fish until we made the final move of the day. It sure worked out well for us! A few doubles and few releases and lots of smiles. West Bay is a fantastic fishery and today I had a few curveballs thrown our way. Luckily we had beautiful weather great customers with patience.

Traverse City Salmon Charter Fishing

Posted on July 29, 2014 by Storm Hawk Sportfishing

Had a double today. First trip this morning was a family trip we went out and got a limit of Lake Trout. Afternoon we went after salmon. Well it wasn’t to long of a wait until we got one, actually lost a few more too! We also caught a few trout so it was a fantastic afternoon! The King Salmon are showing up more and more it seems! I actually marked a decent amount of them while out searching for them. I look forward to targeting them more as the season wears on!

Fish are already wet!

Posted on July 29, 2014 by Storm Hawk Sportfishing

Had a dreary wet damp cold afternoon! Doesn’t sound that great does it?! The fish didn’t seem to mind all that much, as we wrangled a limit of Lake Trout! Fished 80-100 feet Silver Streak Blue and Green Dolphins seemed to be best on coppers. And Spin doctors on the wire divers were productive as well! Fished by the old windows restaurant further north at some points.

Traverse City Fishing Fun

Posted on July 23, 2014 by Storm Hawk Sportfishing

I picked up Miss. Maddie at the dock after my morning fishing charter. She has never caught anything bigger than a blue gill, we were able to change that pretty fast! She caught a handful of Lake Trout in extremely short order. I set 6 lines trolling into the spot I wanted to fish after one pass over it every rod caught a fish! We packed them in 1 by 1 as she reeled them in, once she got her 6th fish we went for a boat ride to cool off after all that work!

Trophy Northern Michigan Brown Trout

Posted on July 16, 2014 by Storm Hawk Sportfishing

Fished out of Frankfort for an evening fish with a few friends. The fishing was absolutely incredible we started offshore fifteen miles out catching a mix of salmon, Steelhead, Lake Trout, and a few Coho salmon. After filling up a cooler full we decided to pick up and move back into the “Bank” off point Betsie where I had a friend doing ok on some fish. We started to set up and a board went off a seven color lead core goes screaming drag. To our surprise it was this giant Brown Trout, weighed in at seventeen and a half pounds! We were super excited to land this giant Brown Trout, we snapped a photo and let it go to fight another day!

Traverse City Fishing Report July

Posted on July 14, 2014 by Storm Hawk Sportfishing

Fished Power Island today, from the South bank to the West side of the Island around the “Green Can” shoal. It didn’t seem to matter where you fished if you had the right baits in the water. We fished any where from 40-100 feet today and there were fish every where it seemed. The Warrior Lures Flutter was good, Stingers “Lemon Ice” was a favorite, as well as Big Weenie Brand meat rigs on down riggers. We caught a limit fairly fast and made a move to the White walls in hunt for a lucky King bite. No strikes however did manage to catch a few trout on divers while we prospected for a salmon. The Salmon should start trickling in more and more as I have been seeing some here and there on the graph. Should be a good year for them! The trout fishing has just been stellar all season.

Posted on July 11, 2014 by Storm Hawk Sportfishing

Traverse City charter fishing afternoons have been productive! Had the afternoon open so decided to take my little brother out for a quick trial spot I haven’t fished in a long time. We really got into the fish in short order. If you want to get out for a mid day fishing charter give me a call.
