If you are staying south of Grand Haven you can launch at Port Sheldon which is south of Grand Haven near the Campbell Power Plant. You can also launch at the DNR site on Lake Macatawa in Holland on the North side of the lake near the Holland State Park. The run out to Lake Michigan is much shorter out of Port Sheldon, but the site in Holland has a very nice fish cleaning station. Most of the fisherman are on channel 68. I would be happy to share any info while fishing but I am going to Ludington and fishing there. Dutch Levee, Rog
