Fishing on the Holland Pier on June 4 2022 saw some solid fishing happening in spite of a crowded pier. The state park was comparatively empty and finding a parking spot was easy. Water was flat, with an air temperature of around 60 degrees. Sky was overcast, and hazy. Rain threatened but much of it stayed south, allowing for some […]
Briefly fished the Grand River at the Portland Dam, in Portland, Michigan. We decided to fish from the exposed bank and ended up only fishing the channel closest to the public access from shore, so in other words, a very small part of the possible fishing at the Portland dam. Fished on the 15th of May, 2021. We fished around […]

Unfortunately, the water level […]

It was quite a beautiful afternoon, however. On the bayou, there is still ice, and a few ice fishermen were out. The ice is getting […]
I had never fished at Johnson St. Park and so I spent two evenings fishing at two locations across Butterworth from Millenium Park in Walker, Michigan. Both nights were cool-ish and clear. Both times I fished from about 7:30 to 10 pm or so. The first night, I fished just down river from the boat launch and then next to […]
Went fishing on the Grand River at the Eastmanville Bayou this evening. Weather was beautiful, water temp high 60s and air temp mid 70s. Still fishing with crawlers and cut bait, I managed to only catch 2 7″ channel catfish and one 7″ bluegill which I used for cutbait. Went 0/1 on a probable bass hook up as my line […]
