On the Ontario side, the reefs are continuing to load up more and more. Muskie season is OPEN and 99% of our muskie fishing happens on the Canadian side. The Chris Johnson Group caught over 60 muskies during the week they were up visiting. Their recommended lure? Smaller to medium sized buck tails. Most of them were caught on rock and weeds
Walleye fishing was great again this week. Little Traverse is starting, but hasn’t completely turned on. Some spots are starting to load up for big lake fishing. This is where 90% of our 10 pound fish come from.
Chris Wilkinson & Pete Danilaitis limited on perch and walleye this week. They also caught countless bass and landed a 40.5″ muskie that held on to a walleye all the way into the boat!
We saw a bear along the shore line, eating on some May fly bugs which was a real treat to see.
You’ll find me in Little Traverse this week, it’s time to move out of Skeet and go south to look for BIG fish!
