The Fishing Grounds
RodZilla fishes out of Bay Harbor Lake Marina located in the Village of Bay Harbor, a resort just minutes from Downtown Petoskey, Michigan. When not fishing, RodZilla is docked in her slip #41 on Pier B. Just look for the blue gazebo about halfway out on the pier. Bay Harbor Lake has immediate access to Lake Michigan’s Little Traverse Bay and several species of fish. Fishing northern Lake Michigan April through October, RodZilla reels in King Salmon, Coho Salmon, Lake Trout, Steelhead, Walleye, & more. Fresh water, comfortable average temperatures, and epic sunsets are part of daily life. A fishing license is required and available for purchase online via the Michigan DNR. 24 hour licenses work well.
