Its been a busy couple of months, so I apologize for the lapse in reports. Our smallmouth bass season ended strong. What great summer fishing we had. I started running King Salmon trips around labor day weekend, and it has been fun. The season started out with very warm temperatures and low clear rivers due to the lack of rainfall. Last week we had some significant rain, bumping up river levels which are now starting to drop. I expect the salmon fishing to stay good for the next couple of weeks. If you are thinking of booking a river salmon charter next year (2025), please consider doing it early as these dates fill quickly. Steelhead are now starting to make a presence in area rivers and in a few weeks I will switch over to fishing for those. I have dates available this fall and winter, so don’t hesitate to contact me for information. Text or phone call to 616 813-5989. If you call and I dont answer, please leave a message I always return calls.

Summer has definitely arrived. The weather has been hot, and the smallmouth bite has been too. Both the Muskegon and Grand Rivers have been fishing great. Topwater fishing has been good on some days and the finesse fishing has been consistent. We have been catching a lot of fish on our trips and getting into some good fish. These are great trips if you are looking for numbers of fish. I have openings throughout the summer before I begin my Pere Marquette King Salmon charters. Feel free to get in touch with me regarding trip information or for an up-to-date fishing report. 616 813-5989

The spring smallmouth bass bite has been good on both the Grand and Muskegon Rivers. The trout fishing has been good on the Muskegon River and other northern rivers. I have been doing combo trips on the Muskegon River, starting the day out trout fishing and then switching to smallmouth bass as the day goes on. We have been catching both trout and bass on spinners, small crankbaits and plastics. We have also been coming across the occasional walleye and northern pike on the Muskegon and Grand. Get in touch with me if you are interested in a late spring/summer charter. These are great trips for kids and adults. A variety of fish can be caught, and the action is usually steady from start to finish. I have very few fall salmon dates left but have plenty of fall steelhead dates available for the upcoming fall. Give me a call if you would like information on any of the river charters, I offer. 616 813-5989
