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 […]
Was planning on doing some fishing on the Grand River at Eastmanville today, however, when I got there the water was quite high and brown. I decided that it would not be worthwhile to fish. 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 […]
The steelhead are in! But spotty. Fished the pier yesterday, and ended up 0/2. Both times the fish snapped my leader. The first one was impressively large. There was a decent sized brown trout caught on spawn, but most, such as myself were using shrimp under a bobber. I am planning on using tougher leader (and definitely loosening my drag […]
No skamania yet. Still only sheephead and gobies with the occasional bass being caught off of the pier. Fished 4-6 pm. Used shrimp. Water temp was 65 and air temp 80. Waves were around a foot. We’ll see if the lake flips this week, I plan on hitting the pier a couple of times.
Overall, not much steelhead action (no one else brought any in), but the sheephead made for a fun evening of fishing. Fished the Holland Pier (Lake side) between 7:15-9:15 Tuesday night. Warm air temps, water was around 60 I think. Very little breeze. Killed the sheephead (drum) on shrimp! Caught some monsters! I finished 10/14 on sheephead and […]
Went fishing 1:30-3:30 pm on the Holland Pier, Holland State Park, Ottawa county, Michigan. Air temp was 70s and the water temp is getting warmer. Wind was minimal and the water was mostly slack. I fished only the North side (lake side) of the pier and didn’t catch anything.While we were out, people on the channel side of the pier were […]
Fished the Holland Pier (Holland State Park) between 11:30 am and 1:30 pm. No fish, despite the presence of a few smelt, alewives were absent as well. Used spawn bags at the bottom, as well as ran spoons with these patterns. Water temp was 54 degrees.Air was in the 60s,Strong wind and as such, the water was really choppy (when […]
Today was a rough day… Absolutely beautiful weather, water was completely calm. No fish on either spoons, body baits, or spawn. A lot of people were fishing, but no one was catching anything when we were out there (12-3). Plenty of alewives though. There were a number of people jumping off of the pier, so I am sure that […]
