    Muskegon River Fishing Report

    Water levels on the Muskegon River are holding at normal seasonal levels, and rising water temperatures are starting to shift the bite. Smallmouth bass fishing continues to improve as the water warms, while trout activity has slowed compared to earlier in the season.

    If you’re targeting quality bass, early mornings have been producing the best action. Topwater presentations have been especially effective, with larger fish aggressively hitting baits during the cooler hours. Whopper Ploppers, El Choppo’s, and Rebel Pop-Rs have all been standout producers. If you’re looking to put more fish in the boat, soft plastics continue to deliver consistent numbers throughout the day. Fishing pressure is light most days. Most smallmouth bass are running between 12-18″ with the occasional pike and trout.

    As we move further into summer, expect recreational river usage, tubes and kayaks to increase, making the midday hours more challenging. Plan to get on the water early to take advantage of cooler temperatures, lighter traffic, and the most active fish.

    Good luck on the water, and we hope to see you on the river soon! If your looking to book a trip please don’t hesitate to reach out, half day trips are popular, but full day trips are an option as well. Fall salmon dates as well as steelhead dates are filling up, now is a good time to lock in your fall dates.

     

    If the river isn’t your thing, remember we offer chartered fishing trips on Lake Michigan for salmon, steelhead and trout as well.

    Currently having some issues with the fishing reports page, please keep an eye out for current reports.

    Its mid August and it’s time to lock in those fall fishing trips. Early kings on cranks is some of the most exciting freshwater fishing that you can do!!! These fish hammer plugs, after sun up we break out the float gear and drift gobs of skein under floats to get these fish to bite.

    As for the “fly” angle….well we all know what that’s about….we are getting away from that type of fishing for the most part.

    Give us a call to lock in a fall salmon or steelhead trip.

    Fishing Report – Dec 9 2014

    Groundhog day….but I love it!!!!

    The fishing has been good to great as of late. The recent high water made it tough for a few days, but it did move fish up river and shuffle the deck a bit. Float fishing has been the best and giving up the most hook ups. But flyfishing has provided action for those looking to work harder for their fish.

    The fish are in transition mode right now, moving into their wintering holes for sure.

     

    Looking for a last minute Christmas idea?? We offer gift certificates for any amount.

     

    Lets go winter steelheading!
