Muskegon River - Muskegon, MI River Report on 24th Jul, 2026

Main Catch: Smallmouth Bass & Rock Bass It felt great to finally get the boat out for an evening on the water here in Newaygo! The fish were definitely active. We hooked plenty of rock bass and a smaller smallmouth—nothing big enough to take photos of, but lots of action to keep the rods busy. The highlight was landing a solid, decent-sized smallmouth bass. We also had two other good ones bite, but they managed to slip away before we could get them in! Quick Summary Key Highlight: 1 solid Smallmouth Bass landed The Action: Tons of rock bass and smaller catches Misses: 2 good strikes that got off the hook Overall Vibe: Great evening to be out on the water in West Michigan
