Fishing In Muskegon County

Muskegon County offers a premier destination for freshwater fishing surrounded by waterways including Lake Michigan, inland lakes, streams, and the world-renowned Muskegon River for year-round fishing action.

Have you ever wanted to do battle with a king salmon or a high-flying steelhead? Choose a fishing charter on Lake Michigan, where the season runs from April through October! The Port of Muskegon offers king salmon, coho salmon, steelhead, brown trout, and lake trout fishing. Novices to seasoned anglers will enjoy the sun and waves while the crew does the work, until the poles bend and it’s your turn to reel in the fish!
