MDNR Fishing Report 08/12/2026

Muskegon: Boat anglers reported salmon 50 to 85 feet down in 100 to 140 feet of water. The best bait continued to be glow spoons and glow plugs during low-light conditions. Anglers targeting salmon were unsuccessful due to warm water, though a few freshwater drum were caught using spoons or swimbaits.

Grand Haven: Salmon were caught 50 to 90 feet down in 85 to 150 feet of water. Blue and green spoons worked well, along with a white flasher-fly combo. Due to increasing water temperatures, no salmon or steelhead were reported from the pier. A few freshwater drum were caught while casting spoons.
