Milwaukee Fishing Lake Michigan Salmon Reports 5/4/2010
By Capt. Jim Hirt
Early May fishing has been medium at best. We're taking a mixed bag of Chinooks, Coho and Brown Trout. You may target your species by working the temps the fish like. The Milwaukee harbor and gaps are holding the best Brown Trout fishing. This warm water fish is finding the best temp where the water flows out of the harbor. All size spoons in orange and silver are working also the Nestor Wobbler Sun Burn Glow has been a regular producer. Coho are north and south in 30 to 50 feet of water in the top 15 feet. No big numbers on Coho yet but this should improve in the next week. Orange 6 inch flashers or dodgers with green Johnny flies are my go to bait for Coho. There has been a morning and evening bite on the big Kings. Mid day is when we are catching most of our Coho and smaller Browns. On the early and sunset bite bigger spoons and plugs have produced fish. The Vulcan Silver, Reaper Magnum Peacock or J-plugs #3 silver and some fish on glow spoons in the larger sizes are working for kings. Downriggers 14 -24 down and Slide Divers at 10 to 20 feet have been best. I hear some of the boats have been out in deeper water but the water inside of 50 feet has worked for us. The boat speed of 2.2-2.5 gave the best results. Vulcans, Nestor Wobblers and Reapers are sold only on the web at http://www.badgertackle.com Have a great fishing season. Let's go fishing!!
