Fishing has remained excellent out of Holland. Kings and lake trout have comprised the majority of the catch. We've been fishing 90-170 FOW this past week. Blood Run wire diver back 180-280 on highs and 90-140 on lows have been very productive with Big Weenie Meat rigs. Our Traxstech riggers have been taking our trout near bottom. Blood Run coppers in 175-450 lengths have been taking fish with a mix of baits.

7/21-7/24 Rod Boss fishing report
Fishing has been electric! It just doesn’t get any better than what it is.
We have been starting the morning inside. Staring at 80 fow and sliding out to the point we start getting bit. Lots of meat bites mixed with a few plug bites.
Starting in shallow and moving out to 120 and continuing out deep to 160-170.
High divers back 160-225 and low diver back 80-120 with meat did most the work. Chute with a spinny fly down deep took quite a few bites over the weekend. Trout baits down on the bottom have been producing decent number.
Green splatter plugs on 250 cu have been fire. Not sure how long the bite will last but good grief the salmon have really been munching on them.
Get out and enjoy this fishing while you can

Black Pearl 7/21
Fishing has been good out of Holland with catches of kings, coho, lake trout and steelhead. Fish have been caught from 90 fow all the way to 200. We've been targeting 40-100 down with our spread. Riggers 70-110 down with spoons on the outdowns and flasher flys on the chute have been good. Blood Run diver back 210-280 on highs and 90-160 on lows with Big Weenie meat rigs have been top producers. Coppers in 225-450 lengths with a mix of flasher flys and spoons have been taking fish each trip.

The morning bite is has been starting quickly with a few bites coming while setting lines in the morning. The early bite is critical. I would be trying to set lines by 6:00 or earlier.
Meat has been the hot ticket. A few fly bites and spoon bites mixed in there. Out of a 15 rod spread we were 7-8 as meat and 5-6 with flies and a couple spoons on top for some steelhead.
We ran flies and meat on 250,300,350,400,450 coppers and they all went. Divers back 160-180 on highs and 100-125 on lows. We have only been running meat on the divers. Atleast to start. Maybe dropping them back as the trip progresses.
We have been getting bit on the set with diver out maybe 50-75 and they are hooked up. Last 4 trips have been like this.
There is a lot of opportunity out there right now. Book a charter or go experience in your boat. But figure out a way to get on the water!
Hope this helps!

7/10 Black Pearl Report
Fishing has been very good with king salmon making up the majority of our catch this past week. We have been fishing 90-150FOW targeting 50-90 down. Riggers with magnum moonshine spoons and big white paddles have been taking fish in low light conditions. Blood Run wire divers back 160-240 on highs and 100-140 on lows have been taking the majority of our kings. 300-450 coppers with flasher/flies and Big Weenie meat rigs have been good too.

I have been starting in 90 fow and sliding out. Last few trips the bite has been on immediately to start the trip. The early bite has been the best bite. I have been fishing in 90-110 fow until the bite runs out and then I have been sliding out to 140-160 fow. It has been more productive for me to do slight in and slight out trolls. Fishing on the north troll has been better than fishing on the south troll for me. But I know others have been fishing on south trolls and having good catches so I do not believe you have to only fish north
High divers at 160-185 with meat have been firing early. Low divers at 100-125 have fired a little longer in the day than what the high divers seemed to go. I have been running meat rigs on the divers.
Copper bites have been on 200 cu with a spoon, 250 cu paddle fly, 300 cu paddle fly, 400 cu spinny fly and 450 cu with a weenie meat rig.
Corners have been down for trout. Admittedly I have not been having as good of luck with the trout as other have. I could tell you more about what not to do than to do. I have been getting 2-3 trout a trip off the corners with spin n glows. Chute has been in the way more than it has been a help in catching fish.

7/3/2023 Rod Boss fishing report
Fishing on Lake Michigan continues to produce nice quality catches. Mix boxes of Salmon, Lake Trout and Steelhead. The fish have been biting coppers in ranges from 175-450 coppers. Limited spoon bites most of the bites have been on spinny flies and meat rigs. High divers at 160-200 and low divers at 100-130 with spinny flies and meat rigs have been very productive. Trout rigs on the corners on bottom have been harvesting Lake Trout and a fairly good pace.
Starting the trips in the morning in 90 fow and sliding out to 140 fow then working back in. We have been fishing north of Holland to Port Sheldon and back again.
Hopefully the full moon won’t shut the bite off!

Black Pearl Report 7/3
Fishing remains good out of Holland. Catches are a mix of lake trout, kings, steelhead and coho. We are fishing 90-150 FOW. Fish are scattered throughout the water column. Blood Run wire divers back 160-240 on highs and 100-140 on lows pair with flasher flies and Big Weenie meat rigs have been taking fish. Riggers near bottom for trout. 250-450 coppers with a mix of spoons and flasher/flies have also been producing silver fish. Happy 4th!
