Took a quick trip out this a.m. from port Muskegon . Went 3- 4 -4 just north of pier heads out in 110-125 FOW. Took 2 Kings and 1 Steel/Coho mix breed. What worked was Golden Orange Crush Icicle on the 400 for the 2 kings, and MOAB moonshine 76 down on rigger for the Steelho:grin: The brisk SE winds kept us on the west troll by 10 a.m. pulled lines and called it a morning. All fish came from 8:30 to 9:30.

Got two man limit of 8-13 inch perch just north of dunes in 51-52 fow no gobies. Saw many steelhead caught in 30 fow. Water started out at 54' then rose to 62'. Caught majority of jumbos when water was 57-58'. Minnows were the ticket.

Life cannot get any better than that, good job! What time did you get the perch?

Thanks Danthebuilder and Pulpfishin for the info for South Haven Perch. Was a beautifull day flat waters. Came home with 40. Fished south 40 FOW by deer lic and North 2 mi 70FOW both producing equal amounts of fish all goood size with half being jumbos. Minnows were the ticket. Drifted as the gobies were heavy hitters still fishing, worst we have seen in years. All in all it was a blast!

Thanks for all the info greatly appreciated will let you know if we find them or not. Any day on the water is a great day fish or not.

Thanks thought it was the bait shop the launch and thanks for the link. Will post how we do.

Thanks for the info will try calling the # in your post although not familar with pyles. Have been going down to South Haven for past 20 + years for perch only, we fish out of port Muskegon, for our Salmon and everything else.

Has anyone heard if they are getting perch in South Haven. We usually head down there for several trips in July and August, would like to try an early trip this week. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Awesome trip, I would say you did as well as any seasoned fisherman and solo at that way to go. 20# selver female even sweetend the box.

Very cool video thining of sending ours down on a cannon ball and see what we miss:grin:

Swedish pimple and loco lures for jigging 3/4 - 1 oz wt so they get to the bottom then just jigg off bottom like ice fishing fish they usually tap the lure or they just outright attack it.

you have time so get er out.............

Hubs, son, and nephew hit Muskegon channel in a.m. for the annual jigging. They went 15 4 to many to count 3 man limit of King Hogs most starting to show their 4 year old age mostly males. ranging from high teens to 20+ wt., they had a blast along with about 50 other jiggers. Will attempt to post some pics in the gallery. Fish were still hitting as of this a.m., yesterday just about any color did the job. Get out and have some fun in Muskegon you will see the carnival and be entertained at the same time.

Happened to find a j plug anyone out of Muskegon loose one.

Whats fun about jigging is you feel the bite set the hook and then feel the rip of screaming line being pulled by a freight train, and the battle begins. The big ones this time of the year fight hard, shake the bait like a pit bull, and clear the water like a sailfin you see alot of fish winning the battle. All the fish we saw caught were mid teens to low 20's pound wise.
