The big boat is in the water and its time for me to switch gears to fishing the big waters of lake Michigan. It was a great fall, winter and spring season for us on the rivers. We are really looking forward to this summer on the lake.
There have been great reports from around the lake of some fantastic brown trout fishing with a scattering of lake trout and salmon mixed in the catch.
I will be on the water in the coming days with a up to date report.
Its time to check your calendar and get your summer dates locked in.
Another fun summer on the lake has come to an end for me, as I started guiding on the river last week.
The fishing this summer was great at times and challenging others. I feel it was better than the summer of 2013. With a good mix of salmon and steelhead most of the summer. We had our best catches (numbers wise) early in the summer. May thru mid- June was great! This is very typical most years as the fish come close to shore due to the warming waters and the spawning baitfish…
I want to thank all of you that have fished with me over the last 10 seasons…it has been fun! I cant wait till next year already. Its never to early to book for next summer.
Thanks again!!
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
