www.mattstefanfishing.com/
I was born and raised in Chicago, but after working 12 years in the financial Industry regulating the futures and options markets at the CME/CBOT I decided to pursue my passion fishing professional tournaments and left my full time corporate job. At that point, I moved to Junction City, WI with my wife Sara and two boys Hank and Duke. I've been fishing professionally since 2011 and full-time since 2015. I've qualified for seven MLF Championships and won over a half million in tournament winnings at the professional level.

Actually according to the WDNR, alewife populations have been increasing in Lake Michigan the last couple of years, that’s why the size of the chinook salmon have been averaging larger the last couple of years.

I remember a many years ago when I was younger, there was a big die off in Lake Michigan and they were all over the beach. My Grandpa was a caretaker for some lake homes and I got to help rake and clean them up before the holiday weekend. The entire beach was nothing but dead alewife, and every wave would bring more. I don't know what caused it but my Grandpa said he remembered it happened a few times before.

Matt, if you haven’t yet, I highly recommend the book “The Life and Death of the Great Lakes” by Dan Egan. It’s an incredibly well told ecological history that details the waves of invasive species and human decisions that have impacted the lakes, and I think you’d really enjoy it. Has great insights into all kinds of gamefish behaviors and the state of the lakes as of ~2015. In particular it talks about the Alewife crash on Lake Huron and the data that shows Lake Michigan is headed the same route. Lots of great info and stories about the rise of lampreys, canals and lake management decisions, zebra/quagga/goby introductions, asian carp of course, and way more

Hi, New sub here. Thankyou for this information. I know here in the state of Maine, alewife spawn here . Bradley, Maine at Chemo Pond. They make there way through black stream and run through the fish way into Chemo Pond. Usually the end of May, we ha e a big celebration and activities day for families and those that love to fish. This yr it is May 20th to June 2. I just learned about them, this was great Information. Please do more of these. Thankyou again. 😊

Matt, great video and what a funny name origin. I was definitely laughing. In NH we have them, but what I have been told were alewife were more like silver dollar sized and kind of narrow bodied and round. I think maybe I was given bad info. The small mouth around here wont bite when whatever it is are running thick!

Years ago I was fishing a lake western Minnesota. ((. The local bait store had their local maps of there best lakes in the area and one said had alwife )). Well at the time I never heard of that. Fishing this lake which is deep a clear at the time. I was fishing to shallow. I mistakenly caught an over 10lbs piking running my bait over 35-40 ft of water. I figured out on this lake That I had to fish that deep. Caught really nice ones. At that time there wasn’t nearly the information we have now. I had too go to Mpls library to learn and read this stuff. What forage species really does make a difference

We call them sawbellys in new York we mostly use them for brown trout and lake trout , the bass love them too . For trout we troll them with a 1/2 oz weight barrel swivel to a 6 foot leader of light fluro hook the live alwive in the top of his head and troll slow at 15 to 22 fow over like 70 80 …. Big trout love them

Thanks Matt, good info. Find the bait, the bass can't be far. Off subject but having trouble getting bit on shad color swim jigs. Black and blue or bluegill swim jigs work great. Can you throw me a bone? Did I ever tell you your my FAVORITE bass fisherman and quite a handsome guy. Just kidding but that shad swim jig thing I would appreciate.

After alewife were stocked in some Nebraska reservoirs as forage some discovered that spinner baits could work well for walleye. The alewife would follow the bait but scatter when a predator took chase. It may be the vibration from the spinner bait that causes the alewife to follow.

Caught a 7lb smallie this year on candlewood and a bunch of 5 pluses on the sane trip and everyone was spitting up alewife when the came in the boat. They also support a large brown trout population on that lake. And the Lakers, brown's, nd rainbows thrive on them in my local resivour here in Northern NJ. But like you said numbers are dropping quick and it's an issue.

I was on Traverse Bay (east and west) in late June and there was a huge die off of Alewives. Didn't help the fishing much. It made it very easy for all species to gorge themselves for days. It messed up the ramps something horrible too. Nasty. It might have been the strange temperature fluctuations that occurred. But, nobody was exactly sure why it happened. But, it's nothing new. It happens every so often the locals say. It certainly helps the bird populations.

So does it mean thick and sexy property owners? They kinda look like shads? I thought I was going to get a lesson on the differences. I liked that lesson on spotted v. bass. What would be so cool bc it has never been done by an expert is, an unbiased breakdown of the top three bassy boat companies. I'm talking like Skeeter, Ranger, and....or Phoenix or Bass Cat or Nitro. That would be epic if they can explain all the strengths and cons of these boats. I mean I don't even think boat dealers can take on this task in detail. In the fishing industry, they always highlight the pros, never the cons. That's a shame that cons are considered "taboos," and I know it is not nice to list the cons or speak badly, but this is also how there's no progression and there's poor quality. Nobody wants to be right anymore. Everyone is lying just to get a meal ticket. That's bad for the industry, esp. the consumers and the ones who are in it to be the best. If you take a look at Tackle Tour of Wired2Fish, everything they review is towards the upside even though they claim to be testing sites. You have zero clue coming out after reading an article. You come out of it more stupid than before. It seems like they just wrote a bunch of bull for the sake of things. I get that there is a place for all things, but can't you be honest? Does anyone know anything? You should always rate things like lures based off of a standard you know as the best or an average product. If not this, they should put the products to an extensive test across the country for an extended period in the hardest places. You should not have to test it if you already know what to look for....but you do when you have everything, yet it still needs validation or sometimes it just performs better than it looks/swim. Anyways, that is why the game needs me. All these pros, although very skilled in their own rights, do not possess the full package.
