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.
