Manistee River Salmon Guide Service customer, Lance Swank, holding a beat of a king salmon that he got casting a thunderstick. I think that he became addicted to that ferocious bite of a river king on a crankbait, because that’s all he wanted to do his next 2 trips!

Simms Fishing Products rep and good friend, Tony Ferrie greeting a nice Manistee River smallmouth caught on fly with Wolfe Outfitters. Although we couldn’t raise any giants, we had a great day, sharing a boat, laughs, stories and some frosty-type beverages later.

Gabe Sopocy from Chicago, holding a beautiful lake trout that we jigged up on West Grand Traverse Bay while fishing with Traverse City Bass. Gabe reports that this fish was “delicious”!
Wolfe Outfitters guide, Matt Dunn holding a pike that customer, Austin caught while fishing the Pere Marquette River. To date, this was Austin’s largest fish.
On the next day, Austin and his dad, Gary, went out with Sport Fish Michigan Captain and friend, Capt. Brian Springstead out of Traverse City. Happily, that big king salmon in front of Austin was now his largest fish ever. Two days in a row, he caught his largest fish. Way to go! Austin is definitely hooked!!!
Fiona Thistle, visiting from Wisconsin is busy reeling in her very first king salmon while fishing with Captain Andy Odette, out of the port of Frankfort. Capt. Andy is a big part of the Sport Fish Michigan network of the best Charter Captains & Guides in Michigan.
Captain Ben Wolfe holding one of Fiona’s big king salmon. For the first fish of her life, this is quite a way to start! Fiona reeled in 3 big king salmon and a 20-pound lake trout! Catches like that will keep her coming back in the future.
This gentleman came all the way from California, to fish with Traverse City Bass for 4 full days. Glen is completely blind, and was still able to manage to fish very effectively and efficiently. There were lots of laughs, lots of fun, and just as importantly, lots of fish. Captain Ben Wolfe was able to get Glen out on both West and East Grand Traverse Bays for each day of fishing.
Morgan, from Charlevoix, Michigan, caught this giant smallmouth while fishing out on Grand Traverse Bays with Captain Ben Wolfe and Traverse City Bass Guide Service. Wow, what a toad!!!
Jeff fished an inland lake with Traverse City Bass to land this big smallmouth.
A bent fly rod for Curt Rodgers, from Columbus, Ohio, is a good fly rod! Curt managed to catch a lot of fish in the 2 days that he fished with Traverse City Bass, keeping the rods bent more often than not!
Wolfe Outfitters fly fishing guide, Matt Dunn, with his very first lake trout. Way to go Matt! Hopefully there will be plenty more fly caught lakers in Matt’s future.
