April:
The big lake fishing season begins in April out of the port of Pentwater.
April brings warmer spring days and great brown trout fishing. In April,
the brown trout move into the shallow waters around the river mouths in
search of smelt and alewives. Browns are typical fished on lighter tackle
with planner boards. These fish are often considered to be the best eating
fish of the whole year. I also offer a reduced rate during April.
May:
May has a lot to offer. We still have browns patrolling the shallow near
shore waters. Lake trout season opens on May 1. But the best of all about
May is that the very active early season Chinook (king) salmon show up.
These fish can make for a very action packed day on the lake. They average
5 to 20 pounds. I also offer a reduced rate during the month of May.
June:
June is the start of our summer fishing. We catch a good amount of Lake
trout averaging 4 -15 pounds. June is also the start of the off-shore
steelhead fishing. These silver bullets frequent the deep-water scum lines
and thermal barriers. These fish average 3-12 pounds and put on an awesome
acrobatic show during the fight.
July:
July is the month when the big Chinooks start showing up in Pentwater.
Although the Chinook are the main attraction for July, the lake trout
and steelhead fish still remains excellent during July.
August:
August is the month for salmon. Big Kings (Chinooks). These fish are at
their prime. The kings have been feeding heavily all summer and are starting
to reach their peak weights (20-30lbs). These fish are very strong fighters
at this stage of their lives which offers the angler a great challenge.
The kings begin schooling up in August in preparation for their run to
spawn. This makes for some great catches of big fish. August also offers
some great Coho salmon fishing. Although not as large as the kings, they
are great fighters for their size averaging 2 - 10lbs.
September:
The first part of September still offers some excellent Big King fishing.
Some of the biggest kings (Chinook) are caught in the first couple of
weeks in September. In September, we also return to the deep-water scum
lines in search of the acrobatic steelhead.
October:
October brings the end of the season for most, but October also offers
some great Steelhead fishing.
