July has been a warm dry month. River levels are low and water temps are high. The smallmouth bass dont seem to be bothered by the heat. We have been doing our fishing trips on the Grand and Muskegon river. Both are fishing good. We are catching alot of fish in the 12 to, Read More

Smallmouth fishing on our West Michigan rivers is still going strong. The season started out with a bang and the trend continues. Its been a warm summer so far, and our river temps show that. I was on the Grand River a few days ago and it was 82 deg surface temp. The Muskegon, Read More

Our warmwater charters have been going well on our West Michigan rivers. The smallmouth bass bite has been good and we have also been hooking into some nice largemouths and some northern pike. We have also had a few suprise encounters with trout while fishing for warmwater species. We have encountered minimal fishing pressure, Read More

As far as the run of fish that came into the river this fall, while the size of the fish was impressive, the number of fish seemed to, Read More
