Houghton Lake 9-19-08

Walleye fishing continues to be very good on Houghton Lake. It's been two weeks since my last trip, but the walleyes are still just as active as they were at the beginning of the month.

We trolled in 6.5 FOW with tail dancers running them back 45 and 52 foot. My father and I fished for three hours and boated seven walleyes the best one being 20-inches. On top of the walleye action we hooked a 38-inch or larger norther pike that broke off at the boat. The fishing conditions are changing and as the water temperature continues to drop we will be moving in closer to shore to fish our spring areas.

Fishing is excellent! Fished out of Ludington in 30 FOW trolling plugs and spoons on half lead and boards. Orange Crush Spoons rock.

Manistee River Report

September 5 - 7 2008

I worked the river from the Peir to Tippy Dam for Salmon & Steelhead.  I didn't see any steelies come out but I did hear of a few coming out up by Madsons.  It's still early and I'll look for more as the fall run heats up.

As far as the Salmon, its going to be another great year.

Maniestee Peir Report

Friday September 5th,

What can I say.... Fish On!  The fishing is hot at the mouth and outside the breakwalls.  If you have your boat ready, get out there.  If you like to fish from shore or on the peir this is the time you wait all summer for.

Saw lots of fish coming in and it looks like it will be another Great Season for the Lake Michigan Side.  

Fish On!

Bear Creek Report

Sunday September 7th,

Fished Bear Creek today as I enjoy working this part of the river.  The fish are just starting to work up into this area.  Saw a few people and a few fish but it's early.

I suggest watching this area as it will start to pick up pretty quickly.

Fish On.

Tippy Dam Report

Saturday September 6th,

Visited Tippy Dam to check out the fishing report and wet my lines a bit.

There are some fresh fish stacked up above the coffer as well as a few between the Dam and the saw dust hole.

There wasn't much pressure yet as people are fishing down closer to the lake.  If you are looking for some elbow room and fresh fish its worth a try.

Fish On!

8/30 & 9/1 Fishing Action

The walleye action was redhot again this weekend on Houghton Lake. With 8 keeper walleyes on saturday and 18 keepers on monday. We boated over 60 fish monday between the three teams boats on the water. A lot of 14" fish, so next year should be productive also.

All of our fish were caught in 4 to 6 FOW, dragging Storm thundersticks and Rapala tail dancers. The most productive lures being the white thunderstick and the blue/silver taildancer. This is in an area we have been fishing most of the summer with some really good success.

It's getting closer to the well antipated hunting season with early goose season starting 9/1. So get out on the water before your hanging in a tree or laying in a cornfield. There is still plenty of good weather to go catch fish.

We plan to fish Houghton Lake as much as possible before our Wyoming trip in October, we will reply back soon with more great fishing action.
