Fishing is fishing! As Capt. Bob says, "the best time to go fishing is when the fish are biting"! Now, if anyone can predict that, you would make millions.......

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!

Bring a cooler to take your fish with you. Carlsonโs was so easy and convenient with cleaning and bagging our fish after our day on the water.

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.

If you get seasick take medicine beforehand. The captain recommended a patch that your doctor can prescribe if over the counter medicine is not enough.

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 itโs not)!
