Washington Island is a pretty big island that lies about 7 miles northeast of the tip of the Door Peninsula. The island has a small community of people who call it home with around 700 people calling it home year round. To get to the island, you drive or walk onto the huge ferry that will take you on a scenic 5 mile boat ride.
There are special fishing regulations for bass fishing around Washington Island. The open fishing season for bass runs from July 1 – March 1, but make sure you stay up to date with the regulations because they may change.
While most anglers come here for the smallmouth bass fishing, it can also be very good for northern pike, salmon and trout. The waves can definitely get big as you get out of the harbor, so you want to make sure you come here with a big enough boat to handle some rougher waters if the winds pick up.
