Smallmouth fishing near Traverse City in July

[Michael Swierbut]

Plan on doing some small mouth fishing from July 1 through the 10th in or near Traverse City. Any input on this would be much appreciated. I’ve heard so much about it I thought I would treat myself and nephew to fishing for this awesome fish.

I've only been on the bay a few times this year, but I fish a spot pretty hard a bit north of there and have been laying a beat down on prespawn fish. I also work over in TC a lot, and there's tons of people fishing the sand flats on East Bay every day that I drive by. If you have any questions about lures and colors, message me.
