Michigan Bass Fishing

Welcome to Traverse City Bass Fishing Guide Service,

Michigan bass fishing.

 
Our passion is fishing for bass, and we can’t think of a better place to be than on northern Michigan’s gin clear waters in the Traverse City area. The waters surrounding the Traverse area not only include the Grand Traverse Bays off of Lake Michigan, but many inland lakes.

Trophy Michigan smallmouth bass are abundant in northern Michigan. Bassmaster Magazine consistently ranks northern Michigan lakes in their top 100 Best Bass fishing locations. The fisheries here are so prolific for bass fishing, northern Michigan and the Traverse City area have been the focus of many national television shows and numerous magazine articles. Traverse City was ranked as the 3rd best fishing town in the country by Field and Stream, and Fly Rod & Reel magazine listed Traverse as one of its “12 top Fly-Fishing Retirement Towns.”

Bass Fishing Charter Boats and Captains

Our bass fishing charters are all led by guides with U.S. Coast Guard Captain’s licenses. Our boats are DNR-inspected, fully-rigged, and stocked with top-of-the-line tackle for your use. Our Captains stay on top of the latest bass tournament techniques, giving you the edge needed to fool Michigan’s clear-water bronzebacks.

With water clarity ranging from 20 feet on many of the inland lakes, to over 40 feet at times on the Grand Traverse Bays, MI smallmouth bass fishing around the Traverse City area in northern Michigan is a special treat. Early May through October is when we can best target our northern Michigan bass. Come spend a day with us chasing smallies on the shallow sandy flats, or sight casting at cruising smallmouth bass in water as deep as 30 feet or more during the summer.
