Busy times…Lots of folks wanting to fish throughout the 4th of July week.
Sorry I couldn’t accommodate all the requests.
Hot weather will "heal the bay" in a hurry.
A 23" postspawn brute was obviously the biggest. More postspawn fish showing up on summer areas but what a strung-out spawn. (Been seeing activity for six weeks.)
Local resort owner indicated that after few bookings early that he has been pleasantly surprised with all the calls of late.
Hoping all have a fun and safe birthday celebration…
HAPPY 4TH

Three days of 90+ temps and the water cooled! How? High winds blew the warm water out and it was replaced with cold Lake Michigan water.
The baitfish seemed to follow the warm water. A little less violent wind will help alot. Soon, I hope, we can get the vegetation growing.
As soon as the temps stabilize our smallmouth numbers will increase. Right now it is quality not quantity.
It may be the second week of July before we get the "true" July pattern.
Stay safe and keep catching them!
(Quiet Cove’s Beavertail worm was our best today.)

Busy times as we wade through June! New friends got on board and we had fun!
Lots of fun-size fish (that means small) and a few (too few) tanks. Three pictured were 5.40 and up.
Soon, we will be exclusively on the big lake…
Until then, be safe and stay happy!

A successful day on a busy Lake Charlevoix. It was even busier because of a tournament that none of us could find registered on the state site.
But the warm night had the fish aggressive from the start and that made the boat launch traffic jam worth it!
Be seeing many of you soon–be safe.

The wind has shut us down from Saturday through Tuesday. Much too dangerous to go where we want to go. Today was very good on inland waters. Many of the postspawners have made their way
to the break edges.
PICS:
The wildfire smoke is very noticeable as seen in the harbor at Elk Rapids.
Included are fish accidentally omitted last posting.
Be safe my friends…
