St. Joseph:

Perch fishing was pretty good this past week, although fish were scattered. The most productive water was around 35 feet. South of the piers seemed to produce more fish than the north. Boat anglers caught lake trout in 120 feet of water. Pier anglers caught lots of catfish and a few steelhead. South Haven: Poor weather and rough waves hampered fishing. A few salmon anglers caught lake trout and the occasional steelhead. The most productive depth was around 80 to
90 feet of water. Pier anglers caught steelhead, but lake temperatures warmed and the fishing slowed. Perch fishing remained steady in 40 feet of water. Grand Haven: Boats were starting to see an increase in salmon numbers with the best action found 40 to
120 feet down in 110 to 180 feet of water. Glow spoons worked well, along with green or blue meat rigs.
Lake trout were caught off the bottom with yellow spin-glo’s, Pier anglers caught largemouth bass on worms and gobies. Steelhead action slowed due to warmer water temps. Morrison Lake: Was producing limit catches of panfish. Muskegon: A mix of trout and salmon were caught at 45 to 125 feet down in 100 to 180 feet of water. Meat rigs worked well in green, red and blue.
