Night Fishing Know-How

Walleye fishing at night is a whole different ballgame. We'll be using a mix of trolling and jigging techniques, depending on what's working best. Captain Justin's boat is decked out with special lighting that attracts baitfish, which in turn brings in the walleye. You'll be using glow-in-the-dark lures and live bait to entice those fish. Don't worry if you're new to night fishing - the Captain will show you the ropes and have you catching like a pro in no time. Just remember to bring a good jacket, as it can get chilly out on the water after dark.

Target Species

Walleye are the stars of this show, and for good reason. These golden-eyed predators are some of the tastiest freshwater fish you'll ever catch. In Muskegon, walleye typically range from 15 to 25 inches, with the possibility of hooking into a real trophy over 30 inches. They're most active at night, using their specialized eyes to hunt in low light conditions. This makes for some heart-pounding action as you feel that telltale 'thump' on your line. Walleye tend to school up, so when you find one, you've often found a bunch. The best time to target them is usually from late spring through fall, with some fantastic night fishing opportunities in the summer months.

Why Night Owls Love It

There's something special about being out on the water at night. The lake is calm, the stars are out, and it's just you and the fish. Night fishing for walleye adds an extra layer of excitement - every bite is a surprise, and you never know when you'll hook into the big one. Plus, the lack of boat traffic and the cooler temperatures make for a more comfortable fishing experience. It's a chance to see Muskegon in a whole new light (or lack thereof) and create some memories you won't soon forget.
