Grand River Saturday 9-6-8
The River
[indent]OK.... so we got lots of needed rain and a dip in the tempature. Water levels are up about 6 inches and temp at 6th street dam was 68 degrees.
[/indent]
The Reports
[indent]Local bait/tackle shop guy says limit catches in an hour being taken out on the piers at Grand Haven. Yellow and sliver spoons have been the big producers.
No reports of any new salmon catches at 6th street dam. I fished it tonight along with about 10 other guys. Myself and one other guy did spot a few fins but no new fish taken yet.
Walleye action has seemed to pick up since the rain. 2 legal fish were taken yesterday by a friend of mine. I landed 3 walleye tonight but none of mine were legal (go figure) 13, 12, & 14. Two were taken with 3/8 oz spoon (I ain't tellin the color) [
] and one with crawler harness.
Channel Cats- Ok so if you like catching these things now is a good time. Several guys pulling in cats on all types of bait at dusk. I took one 17 inch tonight using a crawler harness.
[/indent]
Losses---
[indent]Pliers- Another highlight of the night was me loosing my forcept piers to the river while trying to take the cat off the line.
I lost 4 freshly made fly's (there's an hour down the toliet)
Oh and I also found out the little flashlight that I bought to clip to the wadders for that evening fishing wasn't exactly waterproof. (Ooooops)
