There’s a Bass with your name on it in Traverse City, and Clear Water Angling will help you catch it!

Captain Owen specializes in fishing Smallmouth and Largemouth Bass. During the trip, you might be light tackle fishing or maybe something more specialized in this area. Fishing on these trips is strictly for sport, and everything you catch will be released.

Your adventure beings aboard a 21’ Bass boat with room for 3 passengers. It has all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. You’ll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you.

Families who love fishing together will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! There will be snacks and drinks available on the boat. Don’t forget your sunglasses, hat, and sunblock (non-spray). You’ll need to purchase a fishing license before the trip. Message Captain Owen if you have any questions, and he’ll be happy to answer them.

Treat yourself to a day on the water with Clear Water Angling!

The fishing was not what we hoped for, but we got some quality fish and had a good time. Captain Owen did his best to put us on fish in less than ideal weather conditions.

Me and my boys all caught our first smallmouth. It was perfect and the boys haven’t stopped talking about the boat and how they are both going to buy one.
