Milwaukee Fishing Lake Michigan On Fire

Milwaukee - Freshwater Fishing Report

Milwaukee Fishing Lake Michigan Salmon Report 7/21/09
By Capt. Jim Hirt
The fishing has become predicable and productive during the past week. Good numbers of Chinook, Coho and Rainbows lots of Rainbows to 16 pounds. Action is in 60 to 120 feet. Set up at 55 feet and run spoons 10 to 25 feet down for Rainbows 40 to the bottom for salmon. All size spoons are working magnum spoons have been my best producer for salmon the last five days.

Patterns and program 60 to 120 feet
Out in the deeper water northeast of Milwaukee is the best fishing for Chinook, Rainbow and Coho. I start off the north gap in 60 feet of water and work northeast.

Steady action on Rainbows on two, three and five color leadcore continues to be the better part of our catch. Once again small baits are best for Rainbows. Coho over 7 pounds are common on Reaper Magnum Peacock spoons 30 feet and down. Downriggers or leadcores 35 to 90 down are taking Chinooks big Coho and all size Lake Trout. Magnum Reapers on the deep lines are getting the job done. Check the down temperature and look for 50 degrees. The temperature changes with wind direction. I use Church Walleye Planner Boards for all my lead cores.

Some of our best producing spoons have been Reaper Magnum Peacock Silver and Magnum Fish n Chip on sunny days. Try the Reaper Magnum Glow spoons on overcast cloudy days. For small spoons the Vulcan Dolphin Green Silver and combinations of silver spoons with green or blue accent colors. Run the boat speed at 1.7 to 2.3 MPH. 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!! Jim charters out of Milwaukee, WI. with Blue Max Charters.
