We had a great time with Traverse City Fishing Charters! We caught smallmouth bass, and everyone was delighted with the trip.

Smallmouth Bass

<div>Back on the water after a short break and the water is cooling down and the big fish are on the move. &nbsp; Water temps have dropped 8 degrees in the last week and we went looking for big fish. &nbsp;We fished wacky worms slow in 15' to 20' and the first four fish were all over 4# (5.86, 4.9, 5.5 and 4.29) not a bad first hour. &nbsp; As the sun came out and the water calmed down the big fish stopped biting biting but we continued to catch fish in the mid 3# range. &nbsp; Fishing is only going to gwt better the next few weeks with fall coming in. &nbsp;&nbsp;</div>

<div>slow soft plastics, mostly yamamoto ringed wacky.&nbsp;</div>

<div>Only fished three days last week. Monday was a short trip and only fished a couple spots. &nbsp;Locations that were good the week before had no fish and spot that didn't had fish. &nbsp;Wedneday was a good day, we started slow and bounced around with only 7 fish before noon then everything changed with approaching storms, our last stop produced 15 fish with several over 3.5#. &nbsp;Friday was a day for me to fish and look for some new spots for fishing later this week. &nbsp;Clients want big fish this week so we are going to fish deep rocks!&nbsp;</div>

<div>Fished Friday, Saturday and Sunday and everyday fished different. &nbsp; We started Friday with light winds and sun, fish we're cruising the 10' to 15' rock lines. &nbsp;Saturday was windy and rough and fish were tough to find. we did manage to find a few nice ones on the drop offs abd rock lines. &nbsp;Sunday was lighter winds but still rough, we fished a lot of spots and found fish everywhere from 5' to 20'. we were able to score a 5.42# and 6.32# at the end of the day. &nbsp;fishing should become more perdictable in August.&nbsp;</div>

<div>Fished Saturday, Sunday and Tuesday, every day was a different. &nbsp;Saturday was a good day with fish active on the rocks between 5' and 12', we caught fish into the mid 4# range. We found a couple still on their beds. &nbsp; Sunday was a struggle with wind and big waves. &nbsp;We manage to get a few but the bigger fish would not bite. &nbsp;Tuesday we fished spots I hadn't fished yet this year. &nbsp; the bit was good and we managed a couple over the 4# mark and one tank at 5.5#. &nbsp;fishing should continue to inprove with fish finally into there sunmer patterns.&nbsp;</div>

<div>light spinning tackle with finesse baits.&nbsp;</div>

<div>it was a grind today, we fished from 4' to 20' and couldn't find a consistant bite. &nbsp;Jeff, Pete and Zeke fished hard and found some, but this was the toughest day so far this year. &nbsp;</div>

<div>spinning gear, ned jigs, wacky worms, drop shot, tubes, twister tails</div>

<div>Big south wind on Monday blew the warm water out. &nbsp;Water temp dropped 12 degrees from Sunday and big waves from the north made the fishing tough. &nbsp;Fish were on transition bottoms and the bite was tough to feel with the wind. &nbsp;</div>

<div>ned jigs and wacky worms&nbsp;</div>

<div>Fish are done spawning, YAY! &nbsp;Bass are moving to their summer haunts and are aggressive. Fishing was good on transition lines and dropoffs. &nbsp;</div>

<div>spinning gear with 8# braid to 8# florocarbon leader&nbsp;</div>

<div>Got out Monday and Wednesday this week. &nbsp;Monday was great with many fish over 4#, Wednesday was a little slower with the mayfly hatch this week, but we did get a nice steelhead as a bonus. &nbsp;spawn is winding down and fish will be putting in the feed bag.&nbsp;</div>

<div>Cold, breezy and a little drizzly perfect&nbsp;<span style="font-size: 1em;">June day in upper michigan! &nbsp; Luckily the fish didn't care. &nbsp; Great crew today heres their review.&nbsp;</span></div><div><br></div><div>Jack was the perfect charter for us! We took our 15 year Autistic son for his first charter trip and no words can describe how awesome he was with him (and us). &nbsp;He took the time to show us the ropes and get us on some nice small mouth bass. &nbsp;If you’re looking for a great guide, great fishing (even in the cold) you can’t go wrong with Jack! Highly recommend and we will be booking again!</div>

<div>After 3 days of rain and wind &nbsp;I was able to get out today. &nbsp; I checked out some new areas looking for fish that havent been pressured too hard. &nbsp;Found lots of fish cruising and on beds. &nbsp;sight fishing will remain excellent for the next few weeks.&nbsp;</div>

<div>light spinning gear. &nbsp;8# braid to 8# floricarbon</div>

<div>West Bay continues to produce quality Smallmouth. &nbsp;Males into the 4# class are building beds with bigger females cruising around. &nbsp;We have a few cool days with rain in forcast which will help keep this pattern going.&nbsp;</div>

<div>Light apinning gear with 8# braid and a 8# florocarbon leader.&nbsp;</div>

West Grand Traverse Bay has alot of fish shallow and starting to bed. Fish will be shallow and aggressive for the next couple weeks making fun fishing. 

<div>light spinning gear with soft plastics that imitate gobbies&nbsp;</div>

Spring is here, and the Smallmouth are on fire, with the added excitement of a few lure-stealing pike lurking in the waters, making for an action-packed Traverse City fishing adventure.
