Perch
Yellow perch fishing around Grand Haven is a popular pastime, and for good reason – Lake Michigan and the Grand River offer excellent opportunities. Focus your efforts on areas with sandy or gravel bottoms, especially near structure like piers, breakwalls, and submerged vegetation. Perch are schooling fish, so once you find them, you're likely to find more. Prime time is typically late summer through early winter, when perch move into shallower water to feed. Use live bait like minnows or wigglers on a simple bottom rig. A local’s secret? Try fishing near the pier heads in the harbor during the early morning or late evening for larger perch. Also, be mindful of wind direction; a steady west wind can muddy the water and make fishing tougher. Remember to check the Michigan DNR fishing regulations for size and bag limits.
