The lower Pere Marquette River has had a lot of fish push up river recently but some are starting to stay. Fishing is getting better every day. We will see what the rain does to the river but fishing should improve over the next week.

There have been a few King Salmon in Pere Marquette (PM) Lake recently but no big numbers reported yet. We are just waiting for Lake Michigan to flip. After the lake flips, we should see a good number of Kings in the lower PM River and PM Lake. I am planning to start my King […]
Before heading to my last ice fishing tournament of the season, I called my good friend, Dave Ellis, to see if he had time to fish before headed out of town to work. We hit the lower Pere Marquette River around 3:30p; and with Dave’s first drift, he hooked and lost one. I got on […]

With all of the rain that we have gotten recently, I moved up to the Big Manistee River near Brethren. I am sure that we will be back before salmon season is over.
Steve, Angie, Steph, & I had a great day on the Pere Marquette River today! We headed down river to begin our morning and landed right on the fish. Normally Steph gets us started but today was Steve’s day. Steve landed our first two fish before Angie got onboard by boating her first one of […]
Today was one of my better crankbait bites so far this season. The morning started out fast and did not slow down all day. As a result, we hooked and landed several nice king salmon! Greg and Mark had a great start to the day using crankbaits. As the day went on, the crankbait bite […]
For the last two days, Eric and Jake had success landing kings during our guided fishing trips. Crankbaits were more enticing to the kinds earlier in the morning; but as the sun rose, the crank bite slowed. Eric had contacted me prior to their trip to inform me that Jake was interested in learning to […]
