Milwaukee - Freshwater Fishing Report
Fish Report 9/11/2007 Milwaukee Fishing Lake Michigan
By Capt. Jim Hirt
West wind moved out most of the warm water. Look for fish very high in the water column. We had fish from 20 to 50 down in 60 to 110 feet of water. The action has been steady with all species active. Baitfish in the four-inch size are in the stomachs of the fish. I have had action on magnum and regular size spoons. Big four-year-old Chinooks are also active in the areas in the harbor gaps and in the river and marina. We work them on Sunday the ninth with some real hogs produced on Reaper Magnum Glow spoons. All the different color glow spoons were working. All size salmon and some Browns and Lake Trout are making up our catch. The wind will be northwest again today and this will crank up the action near the gaps and in the deeper water. We have been fishing in Whitefish Bay and off the water filtration plant. On the calmer days run leadcore in 2, 3, 4, 5, 8 and 10 colors or if you don't have leadcore run 150 foot leads behind the ball on your downriggers. Spoons in the magnum or regular size are my first choice. It is a continuous all day bite when you use this presentation. Rainbow Trout action has been best in the warmer water just above the break on Reaper regular Peacock Silver or Vulcan Dolphin Silver spoons presented on 2 and 3 color leadcore. Slide Divers with magnum spoons, 60 foot leads set to #1 with 95 to 120 feet of line out. 70 to 110 feet of water has been best for the big kings. Reaper Magnum Fish N Chip, Peacock and Vulcan Magnum Silver Leaf, Silver Sky spoons on the downriggers are taking Chinooks and Lake Trout. Run the spoons 80 or more feet behind the downrigger ball for success. The only place you will find Reaper and Vulcan spoons is on their web site at http://www.badgertackle.com When you find the 52 water fish just above and below for great salmon action. Our best bite has been at slow speed 1.7 to 2.0 mph. Have a great fishing season. Let's go fishing!! Jim charters out of Milwaukee, WI. with Blue Max Charters.
