Milwaukee - Freshwater Fishing Report
Lake Michigan Milwaukee Fish Report
By Captain Jim Hirt
October fishing is good. The better fishing days have been overcast. If you are looking for two and three year old Chinooks, fish 30 to 50 feet of water. Most of the water out of Milwaukee is 53 degrees on top and the temperature break changes as you move. Fish the warmest water you can find. The harbor or the gaps in recent trips have been slow. I have had good catches of Chinook, Brown trout and Lake trout at the green can. The green can is located 2 miles east of the south gap. There are good schools of four inch Alewives at the can. My fish have come on three and four inch spoons in silver or glow in the dark colors. When the action at the green can slows, I have gone north to the water treatment plant about one mile north of the north gap. There has been good action in 30 to 50 feet of water both sides of the structure off of the water treatment plant. Also work north in 30 to 50 feet from the water treatment to Fox Point. I have caught most of my fish on Dipsy Divers, long lead spoons off the downriggers 10 to 20 down or on 3 to 5 color Leadcore. Smaller silver spoons are taking these fish all day long. The boat speed of 2.0-2.5 on the Depth Raider works well with all the presentations I have been using. Good Luck let's go fishing Captain Jim. Jim charters out of Milwaukee, WI.
