Lake Michigan Milwaukee
We seem to have acquired a case “shakeritis”. We boated 44 fish but only boxed 10. Recent trips have not had a no light bite so hit the water at first light and found some 2 to 3’ rollers out of the SE. We set up in 35fow just out of the North Gap finding a decent number of marks near the bottom...
Milwaukee Lake Michigan 11/8 & 9
El Nińo is predicted for this year and must be true finding temps in the 70s in November and little wind in the forecast so we couldn’t resist heading to Lake Michigan. This time however it will be impossible to recall all of what got bite, where and when because we had in the neighborhood of 90...
Lake Michigan Milwaukee Salmon 10/27/09
Despite a report from a buddy who didn’t have a bite fishing off Milwaukee yesterday I had to take advantage of the nice weather. I was chomping at the bit not having fished salmon since the 1st week of September. The recent blow made for dirty water out to 70’ so I set lines in 85fow just south...
Big Fish Light Tackle!!!
This bite has been very consistent this past week with numerous day clients are landing 10-15 fish all jigging. Just too much fun on light tackle and bait casters! I grew up trolling Lake Michigan but without a doubt in my opinion this is absolutely the most fun I have ever had fresh water fis...

Bailey's Harbor, WI was a busy place early Saturday morning, as we loaded rods, gear, and coolers into the boat pre-sunup to do some fishing on the big lake. Mixed salmon reports were cast-aside as we had great weather ahead of us, and a good combined knowledge of the lake and its inhabitants b...
Browns and Salmon
The bite was solid again with my clients landing both big fish and good numbers of fish today. To my surprise I saw a ridiculas amount of browns that had moved up in shallow and when I say ridiculas I mean like hundreds of fish from 3-12 lbers everywhere. I fished for them for a short bit and ...

The same deal guys. Lots of kings snapping now near shore, you don't even need a boat to catch these fish as they are stagged and ready to finish with a final bang! Cranks, jerk baits, rattle traps or just about any of your bass tackle and techniques work great. Be prepared to hook into so...
