Spring is here!
Spring is here!
May 15, 2025 Suttons Bay
Fishing was starting to kick in on West Bay prior to this week's cold and rainy weather. Fish started moving shallow when the sun was up and warming the water, caught one over 5# and four over 4# with numerous fish in the #3 class on my first trip to the bay. Water is extremely clear this spring and with the coldest part of the week over, fishing will kick back in full speed. I have prime dates in June available, with big pre-spawn fish cruising the flats.

Traverse Bay slowed down some in July with fish scattering everywhere so you had to search them out. We still had a lot of fish over 4# most came out of the 15โ€™ to 20โ€™ range. Also made it back to the UP of Michigan twice to fish smallmouth and as usually very little fishing pressure with lots of nice fish. In the UP we averaged 50 to 60 fish a day, not too bad.

Fishing has been great despite the wind, rain, hot and cold this last week. There are still some fish spawning, but most of our fish this week came off transitions from rock to sand or dark bottoms. Water started in high 50s last weekend got up to 62 with the warm weather early in the week and cooled back to the high 50s by end of week. Fishing will continue to be great. Late July and August are big fish time and I have some prime dates available.
