    Port Sheldon and South Haven bouys have been pulled, others to follow. They were a great help this past year offsetting poor and changing forecasts. Sent from my SM-A156U1 using Great Lakes Fisherman mobile app

    I didn't launch today but checked out the ramp situation. Holland has one ramp out, leaving two in. Port Sheldon has two ramps of the three out. One ramp will stay in at each place until ice out (Yeah!). The footing on the ramps is silently slippery becareful. Lake water level is very low.

    Those freezing temperatures did not give me any incentive to go out this weekend, so I stopped and talked with several of the brave souls that did go. The results showed lots of shad and other bait fish on their displays with occasional dink caught similar to my pictures above. Some had gone out to 160fow, noting that the shad had disappeared once they left the shallower area 50-80 fow. The gates are closed across the street at the state park as well as the cleaning station, and parking was full in the lot next to the ramps. Port Sheldon was open to park in.

    Some of my previous catches at night on Muskegon Lake. I'm looking forward to this year. That's a 41"-17# pike I'm holding with a 25" walleye. A whitefish in another picture

    Got out today in 45-60 fow. Lake had lots of chop but not too bad if you didn't go out farther. Went 1/1 after a heavy battle, emptying a reel of 2C with a 40 jet diver on a board. After wiping the sweat off my brow, I calmly reeled in my aquarium candidate and released him instead. Since you can't keep them. There are lots of shad and small fish in the fishfinder pictures. The kings should get big with this swimming buffet around by spring. Sent from my SM-A156U1 using Great Lakes Fisherman mobile app

    What is the length of those spoons? Maker? Tadpole size? Nice catch in the spring anyway. Sent from my SM-A156U1 using Great Lakes Fisherman mobile app

    Amazing bite in all that shad. I got a late morning launch and fished for a 2.5 hr window in 2ft waves with only a fly by bite in 50-60 fow. The water was cold but I couldn't put it to my advantage even closer in. The shad were all over the place shallow or deep. Sent from my SM-A156U1 using Great Lakes Fisherman mobile app

    I'm looking to do some night fishing during the week this year. Message me if you are interested. Sent from my SM-A156U1 using Great Lakes Fisherman mobilee app

    Great catch.That magical hour of sunset always gets some good eaters. Your low and high beams must really be working well. I guess the fish can't drive during the day? Sent from my SM-A156U1 using Great Lakes Fisherman mobile app

    Nice looking steelies and eaters! Good turn around on resetting lines. Smart reset. Sent from my SM-A156U1 using Great Lakes Fisherman mobile app

    I was in 100-125 fow (updated report). Down 80 with ball. All hits came on the same setup. I ran alot of stuff. Flasher flys. Jplugs, a 300ws. Working with just 3 rods makes it tough. I always try and crowd the thermocline from above and below, as you can see in the picture. I think the night trip you are planning would be a great idea.

    3 for 4, all kings. I'm trying to save my last 2 spaces for steelhead. Lake is 1/2' waves.. it looks like the steelies got another day to fatten up for my table. The details updated: Solo, fished 100-150, best was 105-125 fow. Thermocline was at 75ft. Went 3/4. Saved 2 slots for steelhead, but I could not fillfull my goals. Fish bit from 6:30-7:37am for me. My hopes were dashed as I wasn't able to get a bite over the next 3 hours. 1-King, (6:55am), 5.05#, Bloody nose RV mag off downrigger, 2.0 Sog, W trl, 48° btmp, 80 ft dwn, 107 fow. 2-King,( 7:05am), 5:34#, Dingle lt grn slider std on downrigger, rigger was dwn 80ft, W trl, 113 fow 3-King, 7:37am, (3;23#), Bloody nose RV mag off downrigger, 2.1 Sog, W trl, 48° btmp, 80 ft dwn, 125 fow. Lost 4th on 250WS. The fish may have been smaller than I prefer, but the meat was nice and red. You can see the fish and bait around my cycling riggers. The cleaning station was pretty light, with a couple of groups coming in with one fish totals. Sent from my SM-A156U1 using Great Lakes Fisherman mobile app
