Traverse City Area Fishing Report

August 16th, 2025

8-14-25 Traverse City Area I had an awesome day today with Captain Kurt Stracka. We filmed a great TV show on Long Lake, a very educational show that should help a bunch of people catch more fish. We caught 10 legal walleye and added five large perch as well. I caught my two personal bests within five minutes of each other: a 13 1/2-inch and a 14-inch perch. My wife hasn’t had a good perch dinner in several years, so I decided to keep a handful, which is all we needed given their good size. Perch fishing should improve throughout all of northern Michigan as some cooler weather comes in. Make plans to get out to the Traverse City area and experience all the Great Lakes in this region.
