Grand Haven-Muskegon June1

[Lion Den]

We fished the Grand Haven Offshore this weekend. My fishing report will sound general, but the pattern is pretty broad. Wed-Sun we spent time from south of the number change near port Sheldon to the 12's in Muskegon. We fished the number change Sat am to start and spent the rest of the time on the 7's and 8's. The best water was 135-180 by Sat-Sun. It was outside that earlier. We caught fish from the surface to 50 ft, then from 120 to 240 down. Colors were all over too. We took fish on Steelie Stomper, Caramel Dolphin(best) , Double Blue Edge Kevorkian, Orange Crack, Jawbreaker, Tangerine on the top 50ft. All in Stinger Regular size spoons. On the deeper stuff we caught fish on the New Green Wiggle Stingray Stinger, Blue Machine (best bait), Blue machine yellow nose, Green Clown, Can't afford it, Green Dolphin, Killer Dolphin, Black Rasberry, Blue Dolphin, and probably couple more. See what I mean? All of those spoons were Stingrays or Mag Stingers. We ran about 80 percent copper and leadcore. We took a few on flies, but spoons were best for us. Rapture Bloody Nose w/ 11" White Glow Pro Chip on the deep rigger, and Oceana with Mt Dew Pro Chip on the same rigger did well at times.Generally speeking the larger fish were deeper and the smaller fish and steelhead were high. The fish size is VERY segregated right now. The smalls are together and the bigger fish (relatively speaking) are together. Find a pod and stay close to it. Get in the fish and you can get them quick. Get off of them, and you will have a tough time.We didn't run any divers Sat-Sun.

Dan, Congrats on the good finish! I was pulling for you guys to move up on Sunday, but sounds like you got into the "pee wee patch". Either way, good job.
