    I was marking alot fish in the harbor, but didn't get a hit as I went thru it. Another guy I meant at the launch, said he and his buddy limited out the day before just by going in and out of the harbor. But today he didn't get any but did have two releases in the harbor. He fished in the AM, by himself. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App

    Meant forum member "halfpint" at launch, when we were launching. 1/3 north of harbor, started with 2-3 seas and were turning 3-4s when I left. Temp 46.4 in harbor, 39 on lake. Two releases on boards with 3C and 4C, purple clown, last one spit hook out 10 feet from boat. Big catch of the day was 9# brown trout on 4C with green clown, north troll, 2.5 sog in 19fow, north of harbor, temp 39 degrees.

    FYI, Pigeon lake being a type F lake, looks like you can keep any trout which is in season, but must be at least 10", same for Macatawa. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App

    Only got out for a couple of hours. Caught 1 small brown (14") on way out of harbor (orange crush) and released it. Alot of them were in harbor. Steelhead came later south of harbor in (10') on (monkey puke, 2color) legal but barely, released it. Browns were gone in harbor when I came back in.

    2/2, both browns, 2.75# and 2.93#. Both on 1 color with gold thinfish in 8 and 10 fow. One on north troll 2.5 sog and one on south troll 2.5 sog. No spoon bites. Both north of harbor. Water surface temp 36.6 to 37.3. Waves were from the SW, 3 foot rollers, pretty tightly spaced. Great day when I can finally figure this brown bite out.

    His stomach was empty. He was all laketrout. He was definitely on the hunt for his next meal, probably why he hit my spoon so hard. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App

    Went 1/2, both were laketrout, lost 2nd one, when he spit out the hook just before I could net him (8-10#) best guess. 1st one was 6.54# male. Fished around and north of bubbler. 1/1 on DR with, uv mix veggie, down 32ft, back 70ft, in 36 fow, north troll, 2.3 sog, temp was 36.9 degrees, no fishawk used today. 0/1 on adj 8c, adj for 4c on bigger laketrout with Christmas caramel spoon, north troll, 2.3 sog, again in 36 fow. Waves were 1/2 ft to 2ft lazy rollers, temp 36.9. Pulled thinfish and other crankbaits with no results.

    Stopped by PS at 4:30pm, launch looks great, no ice, no weeds. Watch the waves, they might be bigger than forecasted, enjoy the day. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App

    I saw two trailers in the lot when I drove by today. What kind of boat were you in? Were you able to pull boards? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App

    That's great. I'm amazed considering the ice conditions. He must have got out early before the channel closed up. Nice catch! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App

    Stopped by both launches, Holland still has alot of ice on the lake. Channel fishing probably would work, but not so well with a boat. Port Sheldon had boats launching without ramps, several boats on Pigeon Lake which was open to Michigan, but once on the big lake your rod eyelets would freeze up and boards couldn't be pulled because of the thin ice still on the lake. You could get out but it was challenging with your equipment. Some that stayed at the channel were catching pike. Keep that warm weather coming, though the long range forecast might indicate some snow showing up again.

    I agree. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App

    Ice at Port Sheldon lake was completely blocking the entrance to Lake Michigan, probably pass the no wake zone into Sheldon and a little steep, like you may have seen at beach area buildups. Launch area ice was maybe an inch or less, but after this coming weekend warm up, I suspect they might both be gone. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App

    Grand Haven & Port Sheldon update Grand Haven River and launch area are free of ice out to the lake. Port Sheldon has skim ice and blocked entrance to lake. Won't be long now! Holland is still blocked.

    That's what I use. I cut the length to the fly size, pull it through the center and bury the hooks in the end. I then cut 4 slots on the end, wrap the leader around the insulation and trap the end of the leader in the slots, works great. Store it in a piano box. Usually get 12-15 in box. Label the box section with fly name. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App

    Holland & Port Sheldon ramps 12-15-16 Looks like we maybe froze in. Time to grab the ice fishing stuff?

    Weather is tough, going out is almost a last minute decision. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App
