Muskegon Fishing Report (Fall Salmon) 9/24/2010

Boat and pier anglers are catching a few salmon and steelhead in and around the harbor.

Boat anglers have been trolling around the piers, in the channel and into Muskegon Lake. Few salmon have been caught as anglers were having a problem with weeds getting tangled around the line. Try plugs in chrome with a red head or anything that glows.


Muskegon River - Salmon and some brown trout have been caught.

First sighting of 5 salmon in the Pere Marquette south branch two days ago but nothing yesturday nor today .. heard they are in Hesperia at the damn but haven't seen any fishermen there to back up that statement - must be fish-on in Muskegon Good Luck!

Muskegon Fishing Report 03/06/2010

We caught 1 Walleye, 1 Steelhead (big one), and 2 Northern Pike. It was a nice morning. It was weird fishing in open water right next to ice and there was a half dozen ice fisherman on the ice.

We fished with Deep Diver Rapalla's & Bombers.....off of planer boards. The bombers caught 3 out of the 4 fish (green & orange)

Brent, we launched right at the causeway and trolled the Muskegon River mouth area. . Walleye season shuts down March 15.

Muskegon Ice Fishing Report 02/12/2010

They are now fishing 2nd street catching a few walleye and pike with some limits of perch also if you can get into them, the ice is from 3 to 6 inches with a few soft spots. Fishermans landing will be unsafe after friday because the barge company in going to be breaking up all the ice and moving a few peices of equipment. They are still getting perch by the clipper, papermill and cottage grove. Ice is around 8 inches. People are useing quads and snowmobiles all over the lake but you still need to use caution.

"They are fishing Cottage Grove, cCipper and behind the paper mill for perch in 40 to 70ft of water. It has been a hit or miss season but I have been hearing of some nice catches when you do get into them. Ice ranges from 4 to 8 inches out there. You need to figure out what they want and go from there.

Also need to use caution goin out further the shipping channel was wide open after the warm weather we had. I have been fishing Fishermans landing for the last few trips out did ok on pike on Monday and it was slow for me on Wednesday saw a lot of flags and fish caught by other people, ice was 3 to 6 inches. Cant get out to deeper water yet the east side of the lake was open water last week.

They have been fishing Snug since first ice and haven’t heard to much about it except for gills. They have been fishing Hartshorn for pike and doing ok some days. Sand Docks is not safe nobody is fishing it. I went to 2nd street yesterday and got out but it wasn’t safe once you walked off the path others have made, ice was 1 to 4 inches. Ice is just starting to get better on the rest of the lake so we will be able to get out and try different spots soon enough."

Muskegon Fishing Report (12/18/2009)

Muskegon Inland lakes in the area were starting to freeze however there was no safe ice to report. Anglers will want to avoid the large deep lakes or any water that is spring fed. Any snow cover will act as insulation and slow the freezing process. Anglers need to use extreme caution when venturing out on the first ice of the season. Fish shallow waters only.

White Lake- is reporting a good 3-6" of ice and good numbers of pike are being caught with some perch to boot.

Muskegon Lake - Boat fishing is pretty much done however shore anglers were still taking a few walleye. Most are waiting for better ice or a warm-up, whichever comes first.


Muskegon River - Anglers are still finding some steelhead below Bridgeton and in the lower river near the mouth. Try spawn or Hot-n-Tots.


Muskegon Conservation Club- was reported at only having 2 " of ice.
