The month of June flew by! Fishing was pretty great for most of the month. We had a few challenging trips where fishing was slower than we would have liked due to crazy weather conditions. But all in all, it was outstanding, now we are preparing to turn our calendars to July! Trout fishing remains strong, with the occasional Steelhead, and Salmon caught. More and more Salmon should be making an appearance here in Traverse City! Call today to book your fishing charter! Capt. Brady 231.590.4866

West Grand Traverse Bay offered some excellent fishing for the month of May! We had a few challenging trips as the fish kept us guessing a few days. But for the most part, we had action filled charter fishing experiences! Fish have really started to settle into the shallower waters we have been targeting 30-70 feet of water on any given day the last week. Trolling trips and the new option jigging has been very productive! The next few weeks should give some of the most action-packed trips of the year! Give us a call we can get the perfect trip for you put together!

The fishing continues to be strong here in the Traverse City area. Catches of Lake Trout continue to be strong! Catching trout anywhere from 30-160 feet of water. Surface temperatures are still in the low 40s in majority of the bay. Down by the river mouth it has seen it as warm at 48 degrees! Trout have been taken on spoons and “cowbell” setups! There have been Steelhead, Salmon, and Cisco getting caught as well! Get out there and fish! If you are looking for a fishing charter, give us a call! 231.590.4866

Early May Fishing Report Traverse City: Fishing has been outstanding so far this month! Finding and catching Trout anywhere from 30 feet out to 150. Cowbells fishing the bottom 10 feet of the water column has been the ticket on the Storm Hawk so far. Some glow spoons early to mid-morning have been also utilized to get the trout to bite. There has been a few steelhead and smaller “Jack” Salmon caught as well. These have been taken on lead core lines from 1 color to 10 colors. Traditional spoons like the Yeck Fireball have been riding on a lead core on our trips since beginning of the season. Jigging for Lake Trout and Cisco has been producing as well for most anglers. The Jonah jigs have been the ticket for both species for the anglers that prefer to jig. The surface temps ranged from 39 degrees all the way to 46 degrees by the river today. Hope this helps some anglers get out and catch a few! Call today to book your trip or just to talk fishing!  

We had an early start to the season, and it was great! Fishing was fantastic and had some great groups of folks on the water. Looking forward to the month of May!

Calm winds and happy fish are a formula for an incredible fishing experience to have memories that last a lifetime. Call today to book your May fishing charter! 231.590.4866
