Fishing Muskegon

New to the Muskegon or just getting into fishing around the area I’m sure you have heard about Muskegon lake. Great fishing most times fo the year. The fact is if you’re interested in Big walleye there are times of the year Muskegon lake produces some of the biggest fish in the state.

More master angler walleye’s are registered from Muskegon lake year after year than anywhere. I thought I would share a fact about the area that will save you some time and effort.

You don’t want to fish the any of the lakes especialy Muskegon Lake during the month of June for Walleye or Northern Pike. The fact of the matter is Bass fishing is effected as well. During the month of June the baitfish the Salmon normaly diet on are in spawning mode. This minnow size fish is know as an Alwife .

I know that you may have seen tid bits refering to this time of year bt make no mistake. Muskegon lake and others are over run by the numbers during this migration. To put in perspective the small weekly Walleye touraments on Muskegon lake consist of soem of the most dedicate local Walleye fisherman. Last year from the third week of May

to the first week of July there was one Walleye weighed in. So if your thinking about fishing in June in the West Michigan area and you’re going for Walleye of Northern Pike. My suggestion would be to target one of the inland lakes around are area.

Good lakes to consider are Silver lake in Oceana . Fremont Lake in the town of Freemont Michigan. Hardy Pond on the upper Muskegon River or Hamlin Lake in Ludington. All of these lakes boast decent numbers of fish.
