I’m guessing Charlevoix is froze over. Could anyone take a picture and post it? Thanks in advance.

It is most likely still mostly open water. Takes a long time to freeze and we have had really mild winter so far.
I actually just logged on here to ask about this lake.
I'll be in Charlevoix for a wedding the last weekend of June. How is the bass fishing in Charlevoix? Is it worth hauling my boat from TN and staying a few extra days? Any other lakes around the area worth visiting?
I appreciate any info...
You’ll be hitting the tail end of the spawn. And if you can’t fish lake charlevoix because of wind there are a bunch of other great smallmouth lakes within a short distance drive.
That area is as good as Smallmouth fishing gets anywhere in the country. Many good lakes in the area. And if the wind lays down there is Grand Traverse Bay.Quote:

Love that area up there. Fished there in May 2018 and had a blast. Planning to be back in May of this year if all works out.
Recommendations of other lakes?Quote:

We spanked them on Charlevoix this last year in May. Some pics in this first video at the beginning. Summertime was more sporadic. These other two videos will give you some town views and some late summer and fall fishing. Walloon will be outstanding that time of year. Crooked isn't far from there either. Good luck and let us know how you do. If you PM me I'll send you a location where we got them this spring.Quote:

Bring your boat, you won't be disappointed!!
great lake. south arm is almost always fishable in any winds. launch in ironton. if you don't have a lot of time you can stick to just the west side of the lake by charlevoix and find plenty to fish as well.
