After a very long week and tougher fishing than we are used to last week, the fishing has greatly improved this week.
From Pentwater to Manistee the fishing was great the last few days. Big Kings, Cohos,Steelhead and even a few lake Trout are being caught.
Meat rigs have been hot !! Rigers, divers, coppers…all loaded with meat rigs are producing.
If you have not tried the Familiar bite meat strips, you are missing out! Perfect cuts, durable, real herring!
Ace Hi glo plugs have been going well in the dawn and dusk hours.
I still have a couple morning openings available if you are looking Aug 26,28
As well as openings for guided salmon and steelhead trips on West Michigans prime rivers for September through December. I begin guiding on the river September 5
We have been very busy the last ten days or so…..We still have openings, don’t hesitate to call.
the fishing early last week was great….big kings and there seemed to be plenty of them…by weeks end and over the weekend they moved and we could not find them.
The best king bite was at first and last light on the bank and inside 100′ fow.
Offshore fishing for steelhead,lake trout and a few salmon was my best fishing.
hot rigs…
various copper lines from 50′-300′ spoons up high, meat rigs down deep.
downriggers early and divers were hot at times and ice cold others.
Hot spoons were silver streak minis in mixed veggies,double Dutch,jerry lee and orange chilly willy, Yeck fire ball,stinger goldie locks,double orange crush.
Meat rigs…all over the board, show time,Kevin’s girlfriend,life’s good spin doctors all baited with the familiar bite herring. The best meat bite was early and late.
Todays big blow from the north should mix things up.
We have openings this weekend !
The fishing over the last few days has been hit or miss for this time of year. Fish are being caught on all of our charters.
The fish have been scattered due to the ever changing wind directions, one day it blows from the north, then several days of good winds from the south. The fishing starts to stabilize….then it blows from the north and scatters the fish again. There are a few areas that the fish are concentrated, but those spots change almost daily.
