NOTES
Water is cooling down
Grand Traverse Bay
Back on the water after a short break and the water is cooling down and the big fish are on the move. Water temps have dropped 8 degrees in the last week and we went looking for big fish. We fished wacky worms slow in 15' to 20' and the first four fish were all over 4# (5.86, 4.9, 5.5 and 4.29) not a bad first hour. As the sun came out and the water calmed down the big fish stopped biting biting but we continued to catch fish in the mid 3# range. Fishing is only going to gwt better the next few weeks with fall coming in.
Gear & Tackle Used:
slow soft plastics, mostly yamamoto ringed wacky.
