Fishing off Grand Haven remains good to excellent with a mixed bag of kings, coho and steelhead being caught in depths from 70 to 220 feet of water. Glow spoons, j-plugs, flashers and flies and meat rigs have all been successful. The key seems to be water temperatures in the low 50’s and the location has varied somewhat over the past week depending on wind direction. Our best success came on riggers set 45 to 75 down with divers in the same zone. Coppers of 150 to 250 were also productive. Try blue glow patterns early and switch to greens as the day brightens.
