When is the best time to go fishing? It is an often asked question to charter captains. The answer is a simple one "IT IS ALWAYS A GOOD TIME TO GO FISHING". Fishing is a Verb, it is something that you do. It is the thrill of being on the big Lake, the fresh air, the sun, the camaraderie and bonding with friends, family and associates.
The Grand Haven area is one of the most popular ports for Great Lakes fishing. In fact more charter trips are run out of this port annually that any other in the State of Michigan. It is not hard to see why. The West Michigan shoreline is outstandingly breathtaking, with magnificent beaches and sand dunes. Grand Haven in particular offers modern, convenient shopping, restaurants and motel accommodations in a clean and wholesome setting. A small town feel with large town amenities. Close by parks for camping, nature trails, bike paths, and first rate golf course's serve to round out your experience.
Having said that, the catching (fishing) here is superb, steady throughout the season. Beginning in April close to shore for lunker Brown Trout and finishing the season in August and September for huge King Salmon and feisty Coho. In between it is not uncommon to bag all five species, Lake Trout, Steelhead (lake run Rainbow Trout), Brown Trout, Chinook (King) and Coho (Silver) Salmon in one single Charter excursion. Depending on the time of the season and water temperature you may be fishing within a stones throw of the beach or some ten to twenty miles offshore guided by satellite in pursuit of the acrobatic Steelhead.
