Traverse City: In the East Bay,

 lake herring were caught in 50 to 60 feet off Elk Rapids. Lake trout were caught from the marina when jigging or trolling. Lake herring were caught at various depths around Deepwater Point and north to the M-37 launch which was hit-or-miss. Lake trout fishing was good south of the launch off the point in 100 feet. Those trolling north of the launch also caught fish. Bass were caught south of Elk Rapids towards Yuba Creek and in the shallows at the south end from Acme to the State Park. Good bass fishing in the Elk River near the dam and the mouth. Leeches, crawlers and tube jigs worked best. A couple lake trout were caught in the early morning. Walleye and rock bass were also in the mix. In the West Bay, some perch were found in 30 to 40 feet in Bowers Harbor and north of Clinch Park or in deep water off Sutton’s Bay. Good lake trout fishing south of Power Island towards the buoy, south of the M-22 launch and at the south end of Bryant Park. Bass were caught in Bowers Harbor.
