Fishing has been very good in the north country lately. We're in full summer patterns now plenty of numbers and some giants mixed in.

Fishing has been phenomenal. The fall bite is better than ever size and numbers have been awesome catching 25 pounds of smallmouth every trip.

    Had a great day on the water with Butch. Super friendly, knowledgeable, and put us right on the bass. Caught some fish and learned a few new techniques too. The boat and gear were top-notch, and the whole trip was relaxed and fun.

    Trip: Traverse City Smallie Special

    My daughter and I had a great time fishing with Butch. She had never caught a smallmouth before. Not only did she catch more than me she caught the biggest (4.40 lbs). Weather wasn't ideal with slick water and overcast most of the time but he still managed to put on some good fish. Our best 5 went a little over 16.5lbs. Was a good trip and I would recommend Butch as he has a lot of guide/tournament experience in the area. We went in the West Bay out of Traverse City.
