Highlights of Kaleva Fishing
Our recent outing showcased the excellent smallmouth bass fishing available in Kaleva's waters. We landed multiple fish in the 12-13 inch range using specialized techniques that Captain Jack has developed over years of local experience. The smallmouth were particularly active, providing that signature hard-fighting action they're known for.
The pristine northern Michigan setting adds to the experience, with beautiful scenery surrounding you as you fish. All Jack'd Up Charters maintains top-quality equipment and focuses on both catch rates and teaching proper techniques to ensure a successful and enjoyable day on the water.
Local Species Insights: Smallmouth Bass
Kaleva's waters provide ideal habitat for smallmouth bass, which thrive in the clear, cooler waters of northern Michigan. These fish are known for their aggressive strikes and pound-for-pound fighting ability that exceeds many other freshwater species. Captain Jack targets smallmouth using both artificial lures and live bait depending on seasonal patterns and water conditions.
The 12-13 inch specimens we caught represent good average fish for the area, though trophy smallmouth exceeding 4 pounds are certainly possible. Peak fishing typically occurs from late spring through early fall when water temperatures are optimal. Captain Jack's local knowledge ensures you're fishing the right locations and using the most effective techniques for the conditions.
Plan Your Fishing Charter Day
When booking with All Jack'd Up Charters, you'll be fishing from a well-maintained boat equipped with quality electronics and fishing gear. Charter groups are kept small to ensure personal attention and plenty of fishing space. It's recommended to dress in layers for Michigan's variable weather and bring sun protection, a camera to document your catch, and a cooler for any fish you may keep (though catch-and-release is encouraged for smallmouth bass).
Trips depart from convenient local access points in Kaleva, and Captain Jack will provide specific meeting instructions upon booking. Light snacks and water are provided, but feel free to bring additional refreshments for your day on the water.
