Fishing Report Thursday September 14th 2015
As you may have noticed, the late temperatures have dropped below 60 Degrees by the piers in both Holland and Saugatuck. Fish are starting to stage in front of the pier heads before making their run up the rivers. They have not shown up in huge numbers yet, but numbers should grow as the week goes on. Plugs and spoons are by far working the best at the moment. Some Salmon are being caught in the Kalamazoo River between Downtown Saugatuck and the Pier heads. There have also been reports of fish being caught near New Richmond. Stop in and let us get you geared up for both the Lake and the Rivers! Please take note of our Fall Hours starting Tuesday September 15th.
