The water has cooled down and fall is just around the corner. That means prime season for King Salmon has arrived. We have been catching large King and Coho Salmon in shallow water and the rivermouth the last week. The morning and afternoon trips have been producing excellent catches. We have been trolling a mixture of spoons and plugs and the action has been hot and heavy!

Kingpin catches Kings
Kingpin catches Kings
Aug 22, 2024 Grand Haven
Our morning 5 hr. Hardcore salmon trips have been producing some excellent catches. Late August though Mid September is the prime time to fish for these trophies. We have been having excellent results trolling plugs and spoons just outside the rivermouth in the shallow waters of Lake Michigan. This time of year it isnโ€™t unusual to hook into a few of these beasts even on our 2 hr. Harbor fishing trips.

Fishing has been incredible just off of the Grand Haven coastline. There has been an abundance of large King Salmon, Steelhead and coho salmon in shallow waters 40-60 ft. We have been trolling primarily with spoons and flasher/fly combos. We have caught several kings over 20lbs. Already in July. August and September fishing should remain excellent.
