Tags: Steely Fishing the Grand!!!!
Ya know this has been a crazy year for steely fishing. We had low water all winter long and then we get allot of water all at once and then the Big push goes threw and doesnt stop like they have in the past. Good time to get your tricks of the trade out and go pound them before there main run is all over with. But did you know you can catch a steely in the Grand River year round? This last year when I knew allot of people off work. They FISHED and FISHED HARD!!! And they caught fish all year long. Try to throw some wobble glows, or just run beads and dead drift um.

You have the Day off and you want to FISH THE GRAND RIVER!!!! In Grand Rapids, Michigan!!!!!
You called in Sick because you have been hearing about everyone catching allot of fish in the Grand River. You pick your buddy up in the morning and launch at 6 st. on the east side boat launch. And you are so dam excited you are about ready to just lay the Smack Down on um!!!!! You get there super early to get the first spot up by the dam and you pull really close to the dam to try to get your anchor to hold. And you have dam near 100 pounds on the end of your anchor rope just to get you to stay put. You finally get settled in and you shut your motor down. And it’s 6 in the morning, still dark out. You throw in a few times and you hear a Big SPLASH!!!!!!!!!!!! A HUGE TREE JUST CAME OVER THE DAM AND IT’S COMING RIGHT AT YOU AND BEFORE YOU CAN EVEN REAL YOUR LINE IN THAT TREE IS CAUGHT ON YOUR ANCHOR ROPE AND ITS TAKING THE FRONT OF YOUR BOAT UNDER WATER!!!!!! WHAT DO YOU DO???!!!??? CUT YOUR ANCHOR ROPE!!!!!!!! ARE YOU READY????? aRE YOU READY TO REACT IN 3 SEC???? BECAUSE IN 1 SEC A TREE CAN COME OVER THAT DAM AND SWALLOW YOU AND YOUR BOAT!!!!!
Do you have a knife ready?? Is your knife ready to get grabbed and cut your anchor rope to save you and your buddys lives? And do you have a spare rope with a spare anchor to hold you incase your motor didnt start so you dont go over the coffer dam and flip your Boat? Do you have a pair of oars in your boat so if your spare anchor doesnt grab hold, you are able to ROW down the west side shoot of the coffer dams?
I have known a few guys that where fishing the grand and they where 150 yards away from the dam. Tree came over the dam and came there way. people where yelling at um to get out of the way and they took there time and before they got there anchor rope up the tree was already sliding there boat back. Then the anchor caught and the tree took the front of there boat down and flipped there boat. that force of the river WILL KILL YOU point blank!!! Something to think about next time your on the “GRAND” River.

Suck, Suck, Suck, Suck STEELY!!!
Allot of Suckers have moved in. If your running Wobble Glows or Bouncing the Bottom. You are going to have the Big Suck Suck on your Line in between those silver bullets you hook!!!! We where running Huge Floats with a 2 once egg sinker under um. Just to keep it down in the top of the runs. White Choker Bags seemed to be the ticket today. The water is getting nice!!!! It’s a perfect time right now to Crave the Chrome Baby. If your going down there and not getting a hit right now. You need to think about 2 THINGS!!! LINE CONTROL AND SPEED CONTROL!!!!?!!!!! is your line slagging in the water because your trying to cast to long? If your float fishing and trying to cast to far and your line is all in the water look at your float and see which way its standing up. Good chance the your float is pointing down river and when that happens there going to be seeing your sinkers before your sac. Keep your line nice and tight with a little back pressure on your float. So they will be seeing your bag first and not getting hit in the head with lead. Or do you have to much lead on or not enough. Keep some of those tips in mined when you go out next. And ya know I have been seeing more people loose fish because they never change there leaders!!! This is the grand River home of rerod and tons of rocks. If you fishing right…. your line is going to get banged up…. feel it check it!!! And when u do get a nice fish on… your not going to break him off!!!! We went 5 for 15 today in a couple of hours. Or should I say we went 5 STEELYS/18 SUCKERS 15 Steelys hooked and lost and 45 Suckers hooked and Lost. YOUR NOT GOING TO CATCH NO DAM FISH WITH OUT YOUR LINE IN THE WATER!!!!! GO FISHING!!!!!!!!

River Going back down!!!!
With the river coming back down the water will start to clear up a little. Allot of Guys are using Wobs right now. Orange and Pink has been good. Running with about a 2 to 3 foot leader and just drifting the holes and runs with it. Guys throwing spawn having been putting about a 1 inch piece of yarn snelled to there hook and then soaking it with some kind of sent. Try ShagNasty Love Juice? Come in the Shop its our blend of Goodness!!! If your Tying bags you want to make sure you are tying bigger bags right now. Quater to 50 cent pieces have been doin good. We have some new High Water Floats here in the store. They can hold about 2 ounces of lead. So in this high water it helps keeping everything down where the fish are.
