We added a second boat to the arsenal! We purchased a Alumacraft 185, this boat will be for the more hands on experience. Providing jigging and casting charters here in the Traverse City area. This boat will be for 1-3 people, fishing the Grand Traverse Bay, to inland lake Perch and Walleye, maybe even Frankfort Harbor.
Inspections were completed last week! Let’s FISH!!!!
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!

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! As the month wears on the water will warm up and the fish should continue to be snappy! May is an incredible month to get on West Grand Traverse Bay. Calm winds and happy fish are a formula for an incredible fishing experience to have memories that last a lifetime.
