Northern Michigan Smallmouth Bass

We have entered one of the best periods for Smallmouth Bass in Northern Michigan.  Pre Spawn is one of the top rated periods to hunt big smallmouth bass that are headed up shallow.  So far the season has gotten off to a great start as most inland lakes are 50 degrees or better.  We haven’t explored the Traverse Bay’s yet but they are only a week or two away from entering a pre-spawn program.

Inland Lake Fishing

Northern Michigan smallmouth bass have started to move shallow as have a few very large large mouth that we have been finding.  The last few weeks we have been exploring a few of the prime lakes in Northern Michigan.  Was great to get out on the 21 Foot Crestliner Bay Boat again.

Inland Lakes will always fire up before the bay and are a great way to get dialed in again before the Big Water starts fishing.As is the case big swim flies and jerk baits on spin rods have been best choice.  As plenty of bait shallow and before the spawn fish are hungry and aggressive for a big profile.

Field and Stream – Michigan is the Best

I grew up with this magazine, so many memories.  Here is a little blog post by Kirk Deeter, with a photo from Mangled Fly.

Why Michigan is the Best!

Biggest so far on the Swing (this year)

Nice part about battling the big boyz of the 2013 fall steelhead with the streamer rod, is that you can battling them with 12-15 pound test tippet.  Pictured below is Robert from OK with the largest steelhead landed so far with a streamer.  Great fish Robert. Would guess the fish to be 14-15 pounds.

 

During the day

Not all cool things happen during the night in June.  Day time glory caught on film.  Have more filming of what happened here.  This is only a screen shot.  But some really cool daytime things are happening that we are going to expand upon.
