This past weekend the fish were biting, but bumpy lake conditions hampered the effort some. Fish were found in relatively shallow water in the 80-130 range but the bite seemed to turn off quickly. the bite from 130 to 170 lasted a bit longer and the bite in 240-300 seemed to be steady if you could stay on the fish. With the cooler temps forcasted at night this week, it could be harbor patrol this weekend. The big kings are getting ready to make the run up river very shortly here. Some fish are already in the river. The extrememly warm water has made catching them very tricky, if not impossibly, but the water is cooling. Great trips ahead. Our bites came on a mixed bag of Northport Nailer spoons and Horse Flies and plugs. Plugs seemed to do best early morning and flies and spoons took over mid day. A good mixed bag of fish are being caught offshore with Coho, Kings, Steelhead and Lake trout. |

Had a double today and it is slow fishing. The fish are there, but just won't bite. Water is close to 80 on surface, that may have something to do with it. Both trips we brought 4 fish to the table. Morning run we covered 60-240 fow and only missed one bite, capturing 1 nice king and 3 lake trout. Sea Mist horse fly on bottom was best, even 192' down taking the king. Evening run was more of the same, taking 4 of 6 fish on. One lost at the back of the boat and another getting off the wire diver. Sea Mist and blue moon taking 2 each and a pearl plug taking two fish. Seamist scraping bottom worked again. The fish are there, but convincing them to bite is a another story. Will be out next weekend heavy as well. |

Fishing out of Muskegon has been improving overall in the last couple weeks. Some large fish have been getting caught and certain days have seen great numbers as well. This past weekend we had a strong wind that flipped the water near shore and brought in some fish, but mainly served to scatter the fish that have been in 80-130. Fishing was slow saturday morning. Then the wind picked up Saturday afternoon and cut the trip short. We did find some active fish in the river plume prior to calling the trip. I believe Sunday was unfishable. |

Salmonhead was back in action on Lake Michigan after a 6 week delay. A trip to lake Erie, and some mechanical gremlins had me sidelined for the poor fishing in June. By the sounds of it, I didn't miss much.
I took my aunt out this morning for a few hours and boxed 8 from 10 bites. We had 4 nice kings up to 14#, 3 lakers from 5-8# and one steelhead about 4#. Flies dominated the bites. HorseFlies in Midnight and Seamist took 3 bites each. Mirage took one. Pink Ice northport Nailer took one fish and Sunfire took one fish. There was a constant parade of fish about 80 down on the graph. Riggers at 85, 130-180 down took fish. Divers back 180-315 took fish. No copper bites.. We covered water from 80-295' with action scattered throughout. Best troll was a 200 degree troll. |

The fish that were being caught to the south last week have moved up into Muskegon waters. Fishing with two friends yesterday morning we were 21 to the boat for 24 bites in 4 hours. We had to sort out some undersized lakers and kept our 3 man limit. We had a mixed back of lake trout, king salmon and coho salmon. The hot rod was |

Fishing just south continues to be a slaughter for the latter part of last week. The Muskegon area had good to decent fishing on Friday and Saturday, but thinned out Sunday and even slower on Monday. I expect the upcoming weekend to be gangbusters. Muskegon anglers are overdue some good numbers so far this season. |
