Our warmwater species trips have been good and full of action. The smallmouth bass bite has been consistent. Late summer & early fall is a good time to have opportunities at landing some of the large mature smallies. We have been doing trips on both the Grand and Muskegon rivers. The Muskegon is at a normal summertime level and generally clear. We are finding fish in the darker holes and around grass and structure. The Grand is at a great flow level right now and at a color that I would rate as perfect. We are finding fish in the rocky areas and hanging around grass lines. Sub-surface finesse presentations, topwaters and crankbaits are all producing fish. We are also catching some good largemouth and the occasional northern pike. King salmon are starting to show in the northern harbors and rivers. Most of September I will be doing my salmon trips on the PM River and eventually moving downstate to the Muskegon. I have some dates left if your interested in getting out. Looks like we are going to have another run of very large fish.
