Milwaukee Fishing Lake Michigan Salmon Reports 6/3/2008
By Capt. Jim Hirt
We had our best action in 75 to 120 feet of water. We started south of Prince Wilhelm wreck that lies 3 miles due east of the main gap Milwaukee. In the deep water Church Walleye planer boards with 2,3,4 and 5 color Cortland Kerplunk leadcore with Reaper Magnum Peacock, Fish n Chip, and Big Joe Silver spoons caught Rainbows, Coho and Chinooks. The Lake Trout have moved deeper to 75 to 100 down. The fish ranged in size from 3 to 16 pounds. We caught more Coho this week than any other species taking 6 to 8 per trip. You could limit out on Coho if you work the top 35 feet of water. The way to do that is with orange 6-inch flashers or dodgers and blue/green Johnny Flies in small or peanut size tied 18 inches back. We split our tackle with a mix of presentations to provide our customers with an opportunity to enjoy all Lake Michigan species. Now is the time for you to catch Coho. The surface temperature is 50.5. The smaller Vulcan regular size Dolphin Green Silver spoons are taking Rainbows and Coho. Downriggers from 40 to 100 feet down picked up Chinooks to 15 pounds, Laker's and a few Coho. The 8-inch flashers in green or white with green flies caught both Chin's and Laker's. I am tying my flies 22 inches and trolling at 2.0 miles per hour on the Depth Raider speed and temp gauge. We ran Slide Divers they took their share of fish with 30 to 36 feet of line out set to number one and a half. The only place you will find Reaper and Vulcan spoons is on the Badger Tackle web site at http://www.badgertackle.com Jim charters out of Milwaukee, WI.
