Traverse City Fishing Updates

At Central Coast Angling, we take a unique approach to fishing on Lake Michigan and Grand Traverse Bay. Call us now at (231) 709-0990 to book a fishing experience of a lifetime. As you may notice, we prioritize maximizing our clients' opportunities by following the fish in a smaller vessel. This allows us to go where the fish are most active, ensuring our clients' success daily.

​

Our favorite fishing locations vary depending on the current fishing season. In March and April, we chase jumbo perch and lake trout in Grand Traverse Bay. In early May, we head to Whitehall to chase the king of the lake as the fish migrate up the coast of Lake Michigan. During the summer season, we often stop at the Manitou Islands and visit towns like Glen Arbor, Leland, Northport, Suttons Bay, and Old Mission.

​

During the fall and early winter, we primarily fish in Grand Traverse Bay. Despite the decrease in tourism, the fish are still very hungry. Being based in Traverse City allows us to easily access a wide variety of fresh water species within a 45-minute radius.

​

Our boat, the 2020 Skeeter WX 2200, is powered by a Yamaha 300HP and 9.9HP kicker. Equipped with Garmin chartplotters, Fishhawk electronics, and Minn Kota trolling motors, we ensure a quick and safe journey to the best fishing spots. We have plenty of room for premium gear and ample live-well space to hold the day's catch. Join us and witness the excitement of salmon engaging our trolling spread or help the captain follow a school of jumbo perch or cisco on the livescope. Lake Michigan and Grand Traverse Bay truly offer a fresh water fishing mecca.
