    Big Bay is a community on the southern shore of Lake Superior in Marquette County, Michigan, providing access to the cold, clear water of the largest Great Lake for lake trout, lake whitefish, smallmouth bass, and walleye. Lake Superior's extraordinary cold, clear water and depth create ideal habitat for cold-water species, and the south shore near Marquette is recognized as one of the most productive lake trout and whitefish fishing areas on the lake. Spot Features: Big Bay is a bay or community on the south shore of Lake Superior in Marquette County, Michigan, with access to the cold, deep waters of Lake Superior supporting lake trout and lake whitefish. Lake trout are targeted by trolling large spoons and streamer flies at 60-120 feet in summer, and shallower in spring and fall, whitefish are caught by jigging or bottom fishing with small jigs, smallmouth bass are found on the rocky shoals in summer. Seasonality: Lake trout are the primary cold-water species at Big Bay in Lake Superior, Michigan, active year-round with the best fishing in spring when fish move shallower and in fall when they come to spawning areas in rocky shallows. Lake whitefish are available year-round in the deeper sections. Smallmouth bass are a warm-season species, most active in summer over rocky structure. Walleye are targeted in spring and fall.
