I know I’m late with this post.

I could attribute it to sore hands from handling too many smallmouth making it painful to post!

No, I scheduled warranty work on the new boat before the arrival of next week’s groups. We are ready.

On windy days, the brown fish have been cooperative, with one day yielding 30 keepers in four hours, whereas a calm day proved significantly TOUGHER.

I appreciate Camp and Cruise for efficiently completing the warranty work. Additionally, thank you to the support technicians at Lowrance and PowerPole for their assistance.

Be safe, my friends

Looks like a good start to the season!! Wishing I could schedule another trip with you, you’re a wonderful advocate for the sport and a great guide

Another active week…when we had wind it was good…until we had too much wind! Biggest this week was a 6.42.
I’m very excited for the upcoming week–it is going to get even better!

Be safe and will see many of you soon.

6.42 👍😳

I hope you’re having an enjoyable Easter.

It’s been a busy week fishing for cold-water smallmouth. The merhod used has gone back and forth between late winter and early spring.

The baitfish are trying to move up but the cold nights is hindering that. When the nights stayed warm we had aggressive fish and springtime fishing.

4.90 lbs was biggest smallie this week but lots of fish in the 3 to 4.5 lb range.

Since most years would have us still looking at ice on April 20, we are ahead of the game in 2025.

Let’s all be safe and enjoy!

Another great day of fishing with Coach. Thanks for putting us on fish again today

HERE WE GO AGAIN! 2025!
…been at it for a couple weeks with most of our fish caught in water below 40 degrees. We broke ice yesterday on GT Bay but had 39 to 42 degree water today. And with this full moon–good numbers with the last smallie of the day weighing 5.30.
Rain and snow forecast for the next few days.
Will update in a week or so–be safe and good fishing.

Love catching the fatties

Reviewing these pics warmed my heart and soul as the depressing snow that started on Thanksgiving has not gone away. Most of it lake effect which means I have Lake Michigan all the way to my doorstep!

I didn’t have to look hard to find these pics from this past summer.

Thanks for all the early bookings and I look forward to more of this!
