Grand Haven Report

[HitMan]

Fishing continues to be extremely good out of Grand Haven! Limit catches of large King Salmon (10-18 pounds) are being taken along with a few Coho Salmon, Steelhead and Lake Trout. The majority of the fish being caught are from 70-140 feet of water. Downriggers 40-95 feet down, 8-15 colors of Lead Core, 150-300 feet of Copper and Divers 125-210 feet back have all been producing well. The current has been from the South for a numerous amount of days so the fish have been constantly on the move. The Carmel Dolphin Stingray and regular-sized Stinger continues to be the hottest bait of the year!!! The Blue Cory's Bait Stingray, Blue Bubble Stingray, Lime Tuxedo Stingray, Die Hard Stingray, Yellow Killer Stingray, Stinger Pox Stingray, Lemon Ice Stingray, Double Kevorkian Stingray, Cory's Bait Stingray, Glo Dolphin Stingray, Natural Born Killer Stingray and the Blue Veggies Stingray have all been consistently producing spoons. More and more fish are being taken on flasher/fly combinations everyday. An 11 inch Pro-Troll HotChip White/Glow flasher with an Oceana Rapture Fly or a Frosted Fern Rapture Fly have been consistent producing rigs every morning. Also, an 8 inch Pro-Troll ProChip Green/Glow flasher with a Hypnotist LG Rapture Fly or Wild Fern Rapture Fly has been producing as well. The 8 inch Pro-Troll ProChip Blue/Glow flasher with the Blue No-See-Um Rapture Fly or Blue Hypnotist Rapture Fly has been working consistently every morning. Also, the Custom Fishing Products Blue Bubble 8 inch Pro-Troll ProChip flasher with the Blue Bubble Rapture Fly has been extremely good as well. The 8 inch Pro-Troll ProChip Chrome/Green and Coyote colored flashers have also been working well with the Wild Fern Rapture Fly or Green No-See-Um Rapture Fly. Also, the 8 inch Pro-Troll ProChip Chartreuse/Glow flasher with the Yellow No-See-Um or Citron Rapture fly has been very good once the sun gets up and is very bright, especially during the afternoon. For those anglers who like to fish early in the morning or stay out late at night, the new Stinger Nitro Glow Spoons have been beginning to produce fish. The Nitro Dolphin Stingray, Twister Stingray and Nitro Pox Stingray have been producing a few fish each every morning.

Hopefully the wind and waves will calm down for awhile so everyone can get out and enjoy some of this fantastic mid-July fishing!!! Good Luck to everyone!
