12 Month West Michigan Fishing Calendar - June

Bass tournaments get rolling in June and that really takes over. June is the month of the alewife spawn though and can offer up some of the best evening fishing of the season. Get around some spawning alewives with a topwater in your hand and you may just experience the magic of 3 pounders eating everything that moves. The panfishing is also pretty good in this month and the girls will always get out for a few trips. Salmon fishing usually fades a little bit but there are still fish to be caught especially early on and then late in the month as it transitions to July. It also has some strong periods of pier activity related to the alewives coming, going, and spawning around the walls. It is the great American drum run! Get to the pier, chuck something shiny, and hang on!
