Getting Bit Guide Service

2/22/12 Steelhead fishing was great today on the Pere Marquette River.  The first spot we popped into produced one of our doubles to start off the day.  We found a mix of chrome fresh fish and darker winter fish while centerpin float fishing today.  Below are a few of the fish that we took pics of today.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2/20/12 Steelhead fishing continues to be impressive for February.  There are good numbers of fish around in most of the West Michigan rivers.  Most of our fish have been caught while float fishing lately, we have taken some nice fish on plugs as well.  Below is a sample of the fish caught today.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2/19/12  Steelhead fishing has been good on the Grand River, it has been slowing down from what it was but it is still respectable.  Todays guide trip was a little slower than the previous outings but Bill, Steve, and Don still managed to put more than a half dozen  fish into the boat and hooked just as many others that wanted no part of the net.  The water was a little higher and a little more stained today with the snow melt that we have had.  I had William and John out the other day for a 6 hour and they put a bunch of nice fish into the boat, they landed well into the double digits and lost a few as well.  The guys at the dam in Grand Rapids sound like they are catching some fish as well.  I have also heard decent reports from the Muskegon depending on which section of river.  Fishing should stay pretty good with the weather that we have forecasted.  It looks like we are going to have an early spring run this year so don't wait too long to book a Steelhead Trip.  Below is a sample of the fish that we have been catching.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2/15/12 Steelhead Fishing around West Michigan has been good for us.  The Muskegon River, Grand River, Pere Marquette River, Kalamazoo River, and Big Manistee River have all been putting out some chrome fish from the sounds of it.  We have been catching a mix of chrome and dark fish lately.  Call now to book a Steelhead Guide Trip.  Below are a few of the many fish we have gotten into lately.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2/12/12 It was a cold and windy one on the Muskegon River today.  The water was low and clear but we still found some Steelhead that were looking to play.  Scott and Steve did a great job hooking and landing some nice Steelhead today.  It looks like the temps are going to rebound a little bit this week bringing some great fishing.  Call to book a trip as the fishing is good right now.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2/10/12  West Michigan Steelhead Fishing has been good, it seems that we will never have a true winter this year and the fish seem to know it.  We have been catching a mix of really fresh fish, semi fresh fish, darker fish, and dropbacks this past week.  The Pere Marquette River, Grand River, and Muskegon River all have a good amount of Steelhead around, it is just a matter of getting the educated ones to bite.  This time of year sometimes it pays off to downsize or throw some oddball baits to trigger a response.  Most of our fish have come while float fishing but we have taken some fish while plugging and bottom bouncing as well.  Below is a good sample pack of pictures from this week.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2/7/12  Steelhead fishing has been great, not much new to report.  The Grand is still high, the Mo is in great shape, and the PM has been fishing good.  I have a ton of good pics from lately and will get a few up of some hogs that have been boated this past week when I get more time.

 

2/2/12 Steelhead fishing has been great on the Muskegon River.  We got a late start yesterday and found a lot of boats on the water but the Steelhead fishing was still great for us.  We have been catching a lot of darker fish with a few semi fresh fish mixed in, we have been putting a good number of decent sized browns in the net as well.  Float fishing has been the best method for catching big numbers lately.  I have a good amount of dates open in the next few weeks so give me a call if you want to get out on the water for some Steelhead fishing.  Below are some of the many fish that we got into yesterday.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1/29/12  Steelhead fishing has been good on the Muskegon River.  The Grand River at 6th street dam in Grand Rapids is fishing ok but is still high and dirty.  I had Brad and Braden out today on the Muskegon and they did a great job Centerpin fishing for Steelhead.  This was Bradens first time centerpin fishing but he did a great job, his first fish was one just over 12lbs.  Yesterday I had Luke and Brian out on the Grand River in Grand Rapids and we had to work for our fish in the windy conditions but they still put a decent number of fish into the boat.  Below are some pictures from the past few outings.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1/27/12 Steelhead fishing still remains steady around Michigan depending on the river and day.  We have been putting good numbers of fish in the boat while float fishing.  The southern rivers like the Grand, Kzoo, and Joe are still really high, the Muskegon and Big Manistee are slightly higher than normal for this time of year, and the White and Pere Marquette Rivers have dropped and are looking good.  Call us if you are looking to get out and enjoy our great Winter and Spring Steelheading!  Below are sample of fish from the past couple of outings, I will get some more uploaded when I have more time.
