The fishing on the Bay has been fantastic! The month of June saw a definite crawler bite. Some fish taken on Hot-N-Tots but primarily on crawler harnesses. Silver and blue ladderback Tots brought fish to the boat. I continue to mark a lot of bait fish. Fishing has been hot in the Slot and in the area of the Bar. Callahan Reef is a traditional hot spot as well-and don't ignore the weed beds in shallower water. The areas near North Island and Heisterman Island (north of the Sebewaing River) in 12-14' of water have been productive too. Just an informative note: The Sebewaing Harbor Marina is a good place to launch for access. The channel is well marked, and while it still needs dredging, it is being used without incident. The Spark Plug is another hot spot, but it is certainly not necessary to run to deep water to find fish. I recommend jigging lead-headed hair jigs, especially in the morning. The bigger fish tend to hold on the bottom in the morning. There are so many walleye in the Bay this summer! Bigger fish in 20-26' of water, but I have pulled four-pounders in 13' as well. The water temperature has warmed up fast. June brought great weather to catch fish and just have fun.
I have really enjoyed my charters this year. My primary goal is teaching techniques which will allow fishermen and women to catch more walleye on their own boat. I have had the pleasure of having lots of great people on board. Walleye fever is a disease I am proud to have a hand in spreading around! Please check our website for access to our photo gallery; click on our web albums link. Our charters are affordable and include a light lunch. July will be another great month on the Bay-dates are available. You will gain knowledge about what works and why. If you want to learn to catch more walleye, or just spend an enjoyable day with friends or family, contact us! August and September should be great for perch fishing, so keep that in mind for a late summer getaway.
Be safe!
