September 2017 - Traverse City Charter Fishing

Sunday Funday

Posted on September 24, 2017 by Storm Hawk Sportfishing

Had a cancellation last minute for this morning late last night. I knew it was going to be a amazing day on the water so I drug Mackenzie out of bed early! It didn’t take long we had fish on the line! We fished the”Hole” right outside of the Boardman river that runs through downtown Traverse City, Mi. It can be tight quarters in that spot so all the boats can see what you are doing. There was radio chatter that we were trying to induce labor while Mackenzie was fighting all of the fish! I don’t think Mackenzie would of been upset if it would have happened, we are both extremely excited to meet baby any day now!!!! Just a few more trips on the season before the “Storm Hawk’ goes into hibernation mode. Still time to come experience some amazing salmon fishing! Feel free to call to check availability!

King Salmon in Traverse City

Posted on September 17, 2017 by Storm Hawk Sportfishing

The bays are loaded with salmon right now! They seem to be anywhere south of Red 8 bouy, but most concentrated in the “Hole” which is typical this time of year. But the fishing is great, and they have been biting pretty good!

Traverse City Salmon

Posted on September 12, 2017 by Storm Hawk Sportfishing

Had a date night with Mackenzie last night! We fished for 2 hours had a lot of fun and caught some nice fish. This big king salmon pictured below was the first of the trip! I picked out 5 lures and told Mackenzie she could pick one out. She picked a good one, a custom Big Weenie Brand flasher and meat rig combo I had made a few years ago. Its been one of my best meat rigs in my tackle box ever since! We took 4 kings and 1 Coho Salmon in our short trip. It was a beautiful night to be on Traverse City’s West Grand Traverse Bay, meat rigs on divers and riggers were our best.

Natacha’s first time doing this kind of fishing! She did a great job, we had a beautiful afternoon to be on the water. We managed to catch some fish and share some laughs. We even took the boat for a joy ride around Power Island. Fishing Traverse City is absolutely great, don’t miss your chance to get out and have some fun before the season it over!

2017 Traverse City Salmon Classic 10th place

Posted on September 4, 2017 by Storm Hawk Sportfishing

Well a disappointing weekend in the Traverse City Salmon Classic for us. On the bright side really good friend of ours won it for the second year in the row, captain Adam on Mega Bite!

We had a lot of salmon bites on day 1 but couldn’t capitalize on them. We had a big fish on at day break fought it for 20 minutes just for it to come unhooked. We lost three other bites after we got our lines set after the big fish, we then proceeded to fight a fish for 10 minutes got it all the way to the back of the boat and had it break off about 1o feet behind the boat. At 8:30 we finally landed our first King of the morning that was a bitter sweet accomplishment. We fished for salmon another hour landed one more lost two others. We moved to fish trout to fill our tournament limit for the day. We got our trout to bite fairly fast and was able to fish salmon the last hour of the tournament with no luck. We were in 11th after day 1.

Day 2 of the tournament was a tougher bite for every one. We had half the bites we did on salmon early but were able to land a double. Shortly after we landed the double we made a move to target big lake trout. Setting lines we lost a big trout half way to the boat, then resetting the down rigger the cable snapped lost the down rigger ball… We were able to finish our tournament limit with nice lake trout. Moved to finish the last two hours looking for a few salmon bites. We did get one more as we were getting ready to pull lines, and it broke off within 5 minutes of fighting it.

Just that kind of weekend for us! But that’s ok we had a great time fishing, we ended up in 10th overall in the event.

Traverse City fishing!

Fished the hole to start the morning. We went 1-5 on salmon strikes kind of disappointing on that aspect! But we made the move to target trout pretty early on in the morning since we had a youngster on the boat. We made the move and they were not disappointed with the decision. We loaded up on a limit of trout fast. Fishing 120-130 feet of water by the weather bouy. The hole we took most of our bites on the north end of the hole away from the boat traffic. It was the Traverse City Salmon Classic Women’s day tournament so it was busy on the south side of West Bay. Plugs in all glow were the best, flasher fly double glow spin doctor with green glow fly took two bites on a diver back 110. Looking forward to our luck in the main event of the Salmon Classic this weekend!
