Fishing Report August 17th 2017
Fishing is without a doubt the best we have seen in years. Lots of Kings being caught in the Holland/Saugatuck area! The fish are HUGE! Lots of 20lb+ fish being caught! There are good numbers of Coho’s and Steelhead mixed in as well! Fish have been deeper than usual due to the warm water so make sure you have some Magnum Divers and 300ft+ Coppers when you head out. Meat rigs continue to be the top performers and we will be fully stocked on Familiar Bite and Dreamweaver Herring Today! Stop in for the hottest rigs! Don’t forget you check leaders and backing on your gear, fish are bigger than we have seen in years!
