Fishing is great in Traverse City

Fished West Bay again today, and it did not disappoint! The fishing was great again!  Fished the East side along Ole Mission Peninsula, in 70-100 feet of water. Riggers tracing bottom one with a spin doctor fly the other with a Moonshine spoon Flounder pounder. Coppers took a few fish as well 225, 250, 270, 300 all took turns with spoons.

Traverse City Fishing Fun

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

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

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.

Traverse City Charter Fishing Afternoons

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.

July Charter Fishing Traverse City

What an amazing morning, the water was glass calm beautiful and sunny! We just had a blast fishing the same areas I have been targeting recently on West Grand Traverse Bay. Fishing around 40-50 feet of water as the water is starting to warm up, the shallower lead cores are starting to take less fish and coppers and longer lead cores are taking over for this fishery. Another limit more smiles and more happy faces, I cant get enough of it!!

Lake Trout/Smallmouth fishing

I had a father son team on the boat today, they asked for a combo trip smallmouth/trout. First we started our morning for small mouth and had pretty good success the first hour and half! The bite then slowed so we made the transition and move to look for Lake Trout. The Trout were extremely snappy as we didn’t have time to ever get a full spread in the water. We ended up with a limit plus throwing fish back they had a trip they would never forget! Below I posted a picture of a triple!! Controlled chaos on West Grand Traverse Bay!

Fishing Traverse City

Had a trip booked for the big boat out of Leland today. But a quick look at the wind forecast found that was not going to happen. With 30 M.P.H out of the West I had to call a audible. We took the Storm Hawk out on West bay after a thunderstorm ran through for a afternoon charter. We had a unbelievable trip, the fishing was fantastic we had a limit of trout easily. Storm Hawk Sport Fishing offering 3 fishing charters daily! The fishing has been really strong all time slots! Give me a call to get in on this great Traverse City Fishing action!
