Nice job Tarrey!

Always good to box a few on the first trip, nice job.

For me, the prime months are late Feb, dependent on how long winter lasts, March is prime and into early April depends on how fast it warms up. We fish for browns, steelhead and whitefish then. I think the best pier fishing is when there is still ice on the pier. You need steelhead spawn for the best action in these months. Some guys will chase walleye around the piers at night in April and May casting crank baits. Farther south at St Joe, there is a good summer run steelhead fishing in June and July. You want to hit that pier after a day or two of good east wind. Guy cast spoons and fish shrimp on the bottom and off bobbers. You might get a few strays off Grand Haven. You can get a pier salmon fishery in July to September. Again, east winds to roll over the lake and cool the water off is what it takes to bring them in close. The salmon fishery is very hit or miss. It is dependent on water temps and getting cool water in close. Most guys cast spoons and use glow spoons in the dark. You can sometimes find some perch around the piers in summer but they can be hit or miss too. Steelhead start to show back up in Oct and November. There can be a great whitefish bite in November. Single salmon eggs are best but some guys use jigging spoons but they snag a lot of fish. Good luck.

Nice job Jim!

Great shakedown trip to start the season

I might be down for there one day this weekend. St Joe was great last weekend so I might go there or I might go to our place in Ludington. I've also been whacking slab bluegills on my lake, got 15 the other night, smallest was 9 inches, largest was 10-1/4. That was a pile of tasty fillets! I know I'm fishing somewhere, probably will depend on which way the wind blows. If I go to Erie, I will give you a shout.
