3-14-25 Traverse City area Water temp is 33° for both east and west GTB prior to the warm up. Fish are still in spawning mode and searching sharp breaks that lead to flats have been giving opportunities during daylight hours. Common depths to check would be 55-80 fow. Trout n pout or sand kickers in white glow work best. Burbot are incredibly hard to mark as they are extremely tight to bottom but are quick to bite a presentation if in the vicinity. Moving often helps. Don’t be afraid to fish the middle of the day. If you locate a spawning school it could be the most fun you have in the boat this spring.
Thanks to Bob at Central Coast for the great report
