Got a nice box of fish this morning, action started slow and got better as the morning wore on. Finished the morning with 5 kings, 2 coho, 3 cisco, and 1 lake trout. Best part is we didn’t have to fight the boat traffic, we fished the west side of the bay all morning just trolled around. It was a nice relaxed morning, meat rigs, flasher/fly, and plugs were all good. Lead core in 5 color was good high divers back 145 and 160 with plugs. Low divers with meat rigs like the one pictured below! Fished from 100-180 all the way to Lee point and back. Didn’t mark a lot of fish but when we did they bite pretty good!
Great fishing continues! A few doubles and a few singles through the morning!!! Give us a call to get out and experience this amazing fishery!! It will continue to be good until the end of Septmeber! Call today!

Another great trip in the books, perfect Traverse City afternoon charter fishing. We just pecked away caught a fish at a nice steady pace, nothing fast but it was perfect for our crew. Little man was a seasoned veteran when his turn came!
We had a fun trip this afternoon with a fun family! Mason the birthday boy really wanted to go fishing for his birthday, he was rewarded with some awesome fishing! We caught a good box of lake trout and enjoyed the beautiful sun and calm waters of West Bay. There wasn’t even a ripple on the water! We managed to get our limit of lake trout, great fishing, great people, and beautiful weather! Good day on West Bay, Traverse City Michigan.

Fished the hole on a Salmon mission with a hardy crew! We had good success fishing 60-70 down, through the hole. Landed a nice box full of them by the end of the night. Lost a bunch too, the next few weeks should be really good!
Fished a afternoon targeting Lake Trout. They did not want my normal Lake Trout offerings, fishing the same areas I have had success all year in Traverse City. I decided to throw out one of my favorite meat rigs, Big Weenie Brands Spotted Dick Glow put it by bottom and wham it was one. It took two fish consecutively, I went on to throw down the matching meat rig just UV and it was on! I usually don’t have to fish meat rigs for trout but for what ever reason they were really chewing on them! When in doubt put the meat rigs out!
Fished the bottom half of the bay today. Red 8 south all morning, started in the hole. Got three kings in the first two hours before we trolled out hunting for some active fish. White Crush Spin Doctor with a Big Weenie Artic Blast took two bites in the hole landed one that was on a wire diver back 140. Downrigger down 55 paired with a Ace Hi plug in Blue Splatter took a fish early. Big Weenie Brand Spotted Dick meat rig took the other 130 back on a diver. Trolled out of the hole setting some long lines and high divers. High diver with a silver spoon with a piece of tape took a nice king late in the morning back 185 by the weather bouy. We also took another fish on a 250 copper with a Blue Dolphin spoon. Two trout were boated in the process fishing suspended marks, a good morning on the water. There are salmon concentrated in the hole but get turned off early and have lock jaw. Don’t be afraid to go a little north and look around for some fish they tend to bite a lot better!

We had a great morning on West Grand Traverse Bay! We ended up landing 5 King Salmon and a few Lake Trout while continuing our hunt for the King Salmon. Spoons seemed to be the preferred diet for both Salmon and Trout. While a E Chip fly on a dipsey took two bites the rest were on Moonshine Spoons, or Michigan Stinger Blue Dolphin/Green Dolphin. Fishing 55-70 down anywhere south of Red 8 bouy is where we fished. Floated around never concentrating in one area.

We had a good bumpy morning today on West Grand Traverse Bay. We only managed one King Salmon, but we did not give it much time with the waves we were fighting. We ran north into some protected water and found some really hungry trout!
