Warm days, warm nights, rain and wind is the recipe for us to get rid of the ice and begin our serious pursuit of northern Michigan fish.
First up, before the ice is completely off, will be the Atlantic Salmon on Torch Lake.
Next will be the jumbo perch totally on (what many would call walleye-size) lures. Quality perch!
As the jerk bait fishing picks up steam the whitefish and lake trout become very accessible.
My strong suit is the smallie fishing but I interrupt my annual ritual to take my clients meat-fishing. Never more than a couple of days away from the smallies.
Late April and early May is an excellent time to get that six pounder.
Check out our pictures from 2014 and you’ll see I am serious about the plan.
When you call, just let me know what you prefer–smallmouth only or any combination mentioned.
