November bliss

A little late with this post...awesome bite both jigging and throwing cranks. Here are a couple of pics from our trip.

Guide Trip on Leelanau - Oct. 24-25

Fished with my friends Art and Pat and they did phenomenal. These guys are 80 years old and real troopers! The perch bite has been awesome. We caught a lot of perch on crankbaits and slip bobbers in 6-10fow. Walleyes also cooperated for us. The first day we ended up with only 6 legals, but the second day we caught a three man limit. Biggest fish was 19.5". Fish were caught between 6-14fow jigging and crankbaiting.

Fished North Lake Leelanau

Got out and did a little fishing on the North Lake this weekend. Perch bite was hot - ended up with a bunch of 9-11.5" perch, a giant smallmouth and a 20" eye. Jigging edges. We're coming into some of the best fishing of the year. Call to book a trip...

Guide Trip First Week of August

Had a great time with Jon. Ended up with 5 legals. Caught lots of short fish, smallmouth, northerns. All fish caught jigging plastic. Fished all over the South Lake.

Lake Leelanau - July 31-August 7

My friend Joe fished Leelanau the week of July 31-August 7. Had an up and down week. The up was fishing jerk baits. If the wind was blowing, the fish were biting. Best bite was late: 7-9:30pm. Fished mostly the northern half of the South Lake Leelanau. Jig bite was a little on the tough side. Did manage some legals jigging, but caught a lot of undersized fish with plastic.

A friend fished Houghton Thursday 7/22 - Sunday 7/25. Bite was really interesting. Focused on jigging edges with plastics for walleyes. Caught lots of largemouth, crappies...walleye bite was tentative. Caught fish but had to finesse them a bit. Lots of short bits. Best bite was on worm style plastics jigged with a lead head colored 1/8 oz. jig.

Fished Leelanau this weekend. Bite was good. Caught over 30 fish jigging plastics on Saturday 7/24 morning. 6 legals. Fished Sunday 7/25 and caught 4 legals jigging rubber. Lots of fish being caught. Another guy from the campground caught lots of fish pulling live bait over different areas.

Lake Houghton 5/16/10

Fished Houghton and the bite was good. Caught over 30 walleyes, pike, a few crappies and a bowfin. Fish were caught on both flukes and worms.
