Muskegon Ice Fishing Report 1/26/2010

January 26, 2010 By admin Leave a Comment

Some of the Muskegon area lakes have unsafe ice . Muskegon lake ice near second street should be avoided. Up until the rain last weekend Perch fishing was getting better everyday. Minnows are not taking as many fish but the size of the Perch taken are on the average larger.

Perch Dropper Rig

I have been producing better numbers of fish on Spikes ,Mousies and Red Spikes. I’m using a dropper rig and it continues to produce better than most around me on a regular basis.

 Glow in the dark jigging spoon with 8 inches of 2 pound fluorocarbon to a number 12 Glow green Ratfinky by jigs and spins is by far the best.

Ice Fishing for Perch

January 20, 2010 By admin 2 Comments

The perch fishing continues to good on both Muskeogn and White lake. I have heard people say the afternoons have been good but I havne’t seen it. 9:30 to 2:00 has been the best for me. The smaller the bait the better. Lots of small fish again so plan on sorting. One thing to keep in mind. It’s a good idea not to real the fish up quick if you know it’s a small fish. To many small perch are getting killed as they are coming up from deep water to quickly. If you have questions just let me know. FYI I”m running classes on the ice. $50 per person per 2 hour class. to learn trips

Here are some kids I addopted on the ice. They were board so my daughter and I let them take turns realling in Perch for the afternoon.

Happy Kids

Spring Time Fishing in Michigan

February 27, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment
Beginning in early March the walleye fishing begins to heat up. Fish begin to congregate into groups as they stage for their spawning run.With walleye fishing season closed on March 15th. The fish are big and plentiful . Trolling or pitching jigs can be outstanding. With the Muskegon area continuing to produce some of the largest recorded fish walleye in the state.
This is the time you see their full potential. Over the years landing fish 12 to 14 lbs hasn’t been uncommon.With Steelhead fishing still steady and ready to get into full swing.Â
Fishing from the boat is a great option. Landing several Winter Stealhead and new arrivals as the ice melts often results in good action. April into the beginning of May brings two great option. The Steelhead fishing heats up as big numbers begin to show up in the rivers to spawn. Fishing from the boat or stopping to  fish Steelhead  in waders is very productive.
Double digits in a half day of fishing is common. Despite what some have come to believe .These fish can be fairly easy to catch. If you haven’t fished for Steelhead. I would highly recommend you try it.  Â
Walleye at night is a good option trolling planner boards and lead core in lake Michigan is a great time. The post pawn Walleye drop back to feed on smelt and alewives and your right there to take advantage of it .Even though the fish aren’t at their peek weight. They are plentiful and show up there to feed. The action begins at dusk and last till dawn.   Â
May and June is a different program all together. Walleye during the day is what we go after. Trolling crank baits in the lower parts of the rivers can be effective but live bait rigs are the way to go.
