Some fantastic fishing over the last 5 days despite the strong winds, crazy lake currents, and some difficult conditions for maintaining trolling speed. Saturday’s west wind was just nasty and the lake current on Sunday morning was as strong as I have seen in many years. The current edge was very distinct along the edge of the Bank Reef creating an apprearance of two different bodies of water connecting each other.
We averaged 17 fish per trip over the last 5 outings. The west wind cooled off our water which really helped get the bigger fish back up to the reef.
It’s amazing how the lake conditions change by the hour. Often customers will ask “what will it be like out there today?”. Most days my answer is “you really don’t know until you get out there”. That’s all part of fishing Lake Michigan!
