Walleye
Chasing walleye around Beaver Island offers a unique Great Lakes experience. The island's diverse shoreline, encompassing both Lake Michigan and inland lakes, provides varied walleye habitats. Spring, right after ice-out, is prime time as walleye move into shallower waters to spawn. Focus on areas with rocky bottoms or submerged vegetation. As the water warms in summer, walleye will move deeper, often suspending near thermoclines. Trolling crankbaits or crawler harnesses is effective during this time. Fall sees another surge in walleye activity as they feed heavily before winter. Try jigging near structure or casting along shorelines during low-light hours. A local tip: pay attention to wind direction, as it can concentrate baitfish and, consequently, walleye on the downwind side of the island. The Beaver Island Boat Co. offers ferry service for anglers bringing their own boats, or consider hiring a local guide for expert knowledge of the area's hotspots.
