Its the off-season for local businesses in the area , but the Salmon fishing is prime in the bays.

My first time in Traverse City, and I was only there for one night. Beautiful town, lots to see besides going fishing. Hotels are expensive, so be prepared to pay more than you expect. Totally worth it though if you book with J. Young Outdoors for your fishing trip. Jordan's the best!

Later in Aug or September is best for salmon. Early and mid Aug is always a little slower, depending on the weather and cooler temps.

Yes - The Grand Traverse Bay is protected somewhat from the wind and offers a good variety of fishing options. Especially, with those of with smaller boats.

Grand Traverse Bay is huge and hiring a guide is essential. I tried fishing it on my own a couple of years ago and had no success. With the right guidance, an angler can expect to both catch fish and learn something at the same time.

A good guide makes all the difference. And Jordan is top-notch. Never a bad day in Grand Traverse Bay, but catching big, beautiful, tasty fish is next level! Loved every minute of it. And Jordan made it look easy (even though we know it’s not)!

The weather changed pretty quickly on us so layered clothing and a rain layer is a good idea. We brought our cooler filled with snacks and drinks for my boys so they were in great shape the whole trip.

The Captain’s voice sounded like Blake Shelton. We limited out, and the crew worked hard to make sure our time was great. This is by far the best charter we’ve ever done. Strongly recommend.

Highly recommend booking this fishing charter! We had the best time with family for our Grandpa’s 90th and caught 6 fish, 6-6! It was a success and Tucker and Alonzo were the best captains. Could not have asked for a better experience.

Spring or fall would probably be better fishing overall, but no complaints about the trip.

Lake trout catch is great in July. If your looking for big King Salmon…mid-August is better but you can still get lucky with some quality fish in mid-late July.

Take advantage of the awesome neighboring streams and lakes to try your luck at fly fishing. We rented a cabin on the Manistee River and totally enjoyed the feel of the outdoors.
