Milwaukee Fishing Lake Michigan Salmon Report 9/9/09
By Capt. Jim Hirt
East wind continues and the fish have marched out to deeper water. A temperature break has set up in 110 to 195 feet of water. The best action for Chinooks and Rainbow Trout is 25 to 120 down. Church Tackle lighted 8 inch Revelators with green or white flies or magnum spoons are taking all size fish. Shore, gap and near shore action for pier and small boat angler's remains very slow. The Kevin Lampe family pictured enjoyed a near grand slam on Lake Michigan with Chinook, Coho, Rainbows and Lake Trout. All they needed was a Brown Trout. With perfect weather all had fun.
Patterns and program for the harbor and gaps.
The areas around the harbor break walls and gaps have been very slow but the reports are it is getting better. Fish them at first and last light of the day for a few Chinook and Brown Trout. Shore anglers are getting some fish with Vulcan regular size Glow spoons before sunrise or live bait.
Patterns and program 110 to 195 feet
The temperature break to 52 degrees is at least 100 feet down. The deepest we have caught fish is 120 feet down with the majority of our fish coming 25 to 110 feet. I start off the south gap in 100 feet of water and work east. Use Fish Fry Glow Spoons at first light on the bottom in 110 feet
You will find action on mostly Chinooks or Rainbows with five, six, eight and ten color leadcore with Badger Tackle Vulcan and Reaper Magnum spoons. Downriggers or leadcores 25 to 120 down are taking all size Chinooks and eight to ten pound Rainbows. I use Church Walleye Planner Boards for all my lead cores.
Some of our best producing spoons have been Vulcan Magnum Silver Lizard, Reaper Magnum Peacock Silver, and Magnum Fish n Chip. For small spoons the Vulcan Dolphin Green Silver and combinations of silver spoons with green or blue accent colors. Run the boat speed at 1.6 to 2.1 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.
