Not a ton of fish today, but some of the best topwater eats I’ve seen all season!! Every eat like a bomb went off. Had to cover some water but as always we pulled a good day on the water.

Tony and chris all the way from Minnesota, finding some nice fish in Traverse City. Started the morning fishing top water with little success, but switched gears to spinner baits and jerk baits that sealed the deal. Traverse city area has to many lakes to name that all have been productive. And if you’re a fly fisherman right now is the best time to get out and do some nighttime housing for giant brown trout!!! so if you find yourself up in northern Michigan, be sure to give me a shout we can find a lake or a river near where you’re staying and can get you out on some fish!

Fishing has been nothing but speculation here in the grand Traverse and Manistee. Every body of water i have been on has produced great number of big Pre spawn smallmouth. Water temps are still colder and slow and steady reeling swimbaits has been the go to bait. If you wana come pet some big smallmouth give me a call and lets get after em!!

Things on the big manistee river has been spectacular to say the least! Float fishing with beads, jigs and spawn have been killing it. I have some open days and expect it to remain good all the way into May. So book now, your not going to want to miss this epic action.

Fishing on the big manistee river has been solid. The crank bait bite has been strong in the mornings, its a bite that you wont forget. Float fishing eggs throughout the day has been very productive. Alot of fish in the system, more than i have seen in my 10 years guiding this river. I have a few prime dates open, you do NOT want to miss this
