SEPTEMBER 20TH

Hey Sportsfans, 

Fall is arriving, and you can feel the season changing out on the water. The pelicans are heading south, while the seagulls continue to follow the launches, hoping for their own catch of the day—a nice shiner churned up by the prop wash.

We’re finding crappies, bass, and perch where we’re fishing for walleye, making it a triple whammy out here. Why wouldn’t you make the trip?

With each passing northwesterly front, the big Traverse schools are being pushed closer to the gap. As Captain Tim says, “It’s the best time of the year.”

We have truly hit the fall fishing part of the season—emphasis on the fishing part. The bite isn’t terrible, but it’s also not great. Patience is key!

Weather and wind patterns have forced us to take a few river days, but that’s all part of fall fishing. As the season continues and water temperatures start to drop, the fish are beginning to move into more traditional fall locations.

We’re starting to see fish relate more closely to structure—especially island points, rock reefs, shallow rock, and areas with current.

As fall continues to intensify, we expect the bite to get better every day. Hold on tight—the bite is coming in hot!

SET THE HOOK!
