Perch Fishing in Muskegon Lake is great now, with very little pressure on the fish. As falls progress and more fish show up, the fishing improves. This fishing can be done at any time during daylight hours. We are running Fishing Charters in Muskegon Lake in boats now for Perch, but we will continue to run ice trips once ice up happens. We recommend the Ice fishing Trips. We provide New Frabill Shanties with Heaters and Lunch on the Ice.
Muskegon River offers several options for Steelhead Fishing Charters as well. November until Ice up is probably the best option, but Winter Steelhead trips are also available. Early morning tends to be your best bet. As the sun gets high in the sky, the fish can get spooky with the low levels of very clear water.
Night Fishing Charter
One of the best fishing trips offered in the Muskegon area is just around the corner. This fishing trip is Vertical Jigging for White Fish in the Muskegon Channel. Few people offer this trip as most of the Muskegon Charter boats have put their boats away for the year. The week before Thanksgiving until two weeks afterward, the Whitefish run is on.
The White Fish enter the Muskegon Channel to Spawn. Some nights the fish even enter Muskegon Lake. The fish only make this run after dark. The fishing is good all night long but right after dark until midnight tends to be best. Most of our Charters are from 5:30 to 10:30 pm. This is an action-packed trip.
