Muskegon River Smallmouth Bass

The river has been good to us the past few trips, smallmouth are bountiful and a spare walleye or two. The later part of the day/evening has produced the best bass fishing. We have caught a few walleyes in the deeper sections as we are targeting smallmouth bass.

We had a great time in late August and caught 4 Kings. Was told that May and June might have been a better time. In late Aug fish are moving quite a bit and are less predictable.

Enjoyed catching the king salmon Was really looking forward to some lake trout but I'm not familiar with the seasons, being from NJ. The captain and mate were awesome. It's my second trip with them and would certainly recommend to others.

Bring a sweatshirt because it really cools off when the sun goes down. Use the restroom before you go and plan to relax and have fun.
