Lake Michigan Fishing Report - Updated Thursday, December 29, 2011 7:57:37 AM
2012 Lake Michigan Forecast- Due to a very large forage base in Lake Michigan, the Salmon were much larger in 2011 than recent seasons. Mature King Salmon ranged from 16-25 pounds, with some fish around West Michigan topping the scales at over 30 pounds! With the strong forage base in Lake Michigan, 2012 should be a phenomenal season for both size and quantities of fish. We will have the boat in the water by May 1 so give us a call today to book you prime date in 2012.

Muskegon River Fishing Report - Updated Monday, February 20, 2012 8:07:55 PM
Fishing remains good on the MO. There are fresh steelhead entering the system daily and willing to bite. Backbouncing and float fishing has been taking most fish. The steelhead fishing will remain good through April but March is prime time and dates are filling fast. Give us a call today to get in on the action.

Grand River Fishing Report - Updated Monday, February 20, 2012 8:13:53 PM
The Grand has been a little hit or miss. We have been getting fish every trip but not the huge numbers you see in early spring. If you are looking to get on the river and hook a bunch of steelhead book a trip with us on the Grand in March, you will not be disappointed. We have multiple boats and licensed guides to run the river so even if you have a large group we can get you in on the action.

Inland Lakes Fishing Report - Updated Thursday, February 09, 2012 5:28:16 PM
We are now offering Semi- Guided ice fishing trips on a few inland lakes in West Michigan. Heated shanties & all equipment is provided. The lakes have 8"+ of ice and the bluegill fishing on lite tackle has been great as well as pike being taken on tip-ups. Muskegon Lake is still wide open and it is starting to look like it may not have safe ice this season.
