Milwaukee - Freshwater Fishing Report
Lake Michigan Milwaukee Wisconsin Fish Report
By Capt. Jim Hirt
Late September fishing is great. If you are looking for two and three year old Chinooks, temperature is key to success. East wind, west wind the location changes daily. Look for 52-degree water. There are a Lot of 2,3 and 4-year-old Chinooks around. At this point most of the 2 and 3 year olds are in 60 foot or deeper water 60 to 80 down. Most of the big boys are coming on long lead spoons 80 feet behind the ball. Try glow spoons early in the morning. Go to silver with blue or green accent stripes after sunrise. Brown trout fishing is very good with lots of big browns this year. Smaller silver spoons are taking these fish all day long. We are also catching fish out of temp in warmer water than you would expect. The harbor and forty to fifty feet of water holds 4 year old Chinooks, mature Coho and Brown trout in all sizes. Long lead spoons in silver or glow in the dark watermelon is working. The dipsy divers set to 2 with 50 to 70 feet of line out is also working. Half core lead is taking Rainbows in 150 feet of water mostly on spoons. We have been setting up in 40 feet of water and fishing out to 100 and back to 40 enjoying steady action on morning and afternoon trips. Brown trout are active early in the day working 20 to 40 feet of water mostly on glow spoons. There are a few Lakers on the bottom in 100 to 200 feet of water on Opti-Dodgers and flies. The boat speed of 2.4-2.8 on the Depth Raider works well with all the presentations I have been using. Slow down to 2.0 or less for Lakers. Run a speed of 3.0 to for Rainbows. Good Luck let's go fishing Captain Jim!! Jim charters out of Milwaukee, WI. With Blue Max Charters He can be reached at 414-828-1094 or visit his web site at http://www.bluemaxcharters.com
