Milwaukee Fishing Lake Michigan Salmon Report 8/8/2013
By Milwaukee Wisconsin fishing charter Capt. Jim Hirt
Lakers dominate the catch with some Chinooks and Rainbows. Not much has changed for the last month. To get my fish reports and how to videos first go to http://www.jimhirt.com By subscribing you will keep ahead of the other anglers. When I post you will get it fast! Ron and Valerie Dent landed this double of a Rainbow and Chinook. Good battle great charter!! Both fish were taken on Reaper Magnum Fish n Chip spoons.
How Chinooks
Chinook are taking flies and also magnum spoons. Wire divers set to 1.5 with 100 feet of line out have been the most consistent. Chinook are coming in 105 feet of water 55 down. I use the Depth Raider to measure speed at the ball. The boat speed of 1.9 to 2.2 has been best.
How Lakers
For Lake Trout magnum Reaper glow spoons presented within inches of the bottom will bring in some hogs with the most running 8-10 pounds. A size 0 dodger and Spin N Glow may be needed on some days.
Good year for Rainbows
Lead core in 3,4,5,6, and eight colors are best for working the Rainbows. I like magnum spoons. Reaper Peacock has been a good choice.
Where!
Fish are marking from 80 feet and all the way out north or south of Milwaukee to 140 feet. Have a great fishing season. Let’s go fishing!
Note I have openings on the schedule. I am the only charter offering an extra hour for $35 when added to any five hour charter. Jim charters out of Milwaukee, WI. with Blue Max Charters.

Milwaukee Fishing Lake Michigan Salmon Report 6/7/13

Coho Salmon predictable with good numbers and some huge Chinooks. To get my fish reports and how to videos first go to http://www.jimhirt.com By subscribing you will keep ahead of the other anglers. When I post you will get it fast!
How Coho
Coho are coming on small size spoons and dodger flies. Reapers and Vulcans made by http://www.badgertackle.com have been working for us. The small silver Vulcan has been hot on the lead cores. Six inch flashers or dodgers with green or blue Howies peanut flies must be part of your presentation for Coho. Coho are in the top 35 feet. Steady action on Slide Divers set to #3 no ring and 35 feet of line out. Tie your flies 14.5 inches on 6 inch dodgers, 24 inches for 6 inch flashers. All orange dodgers and flashers. I hope this helps.
How Chinooks
Chinook are taking magnum spoons. Run 2,3,4,and 5 color Cortland lead core and downriggers 12 to 48 feet down. I use the Depth Raider to measure speed at the ball. The boat speed of 1.9 to 2.2 has been best.
Where!
No change…. fish are scattered from the break wall and all the way out north or south of Milwaukee to 140 feet. It can be a zoo in close with all the traffic and it may be better to head out the north gap Milwaukee 70 degrees and fish northeast out to 70 to 140 feet of water. Have a great fishing season. Let’s go fishing!

Hog Lake Trout and All Size King Salmon in Milwaukee!
Surface temperature is 70 degrees and the fish are 35 feet to bottom. To get my fish reports and how to videos first go to http://www.jimhirt.com By subscribing you will keep ahead of the other anglers. When I post you will get it fast!
All day action
If you haven’t been out for awhile now is the best time to fill the freezer with Chinooks, Coho and trout. In recent weeks the fish have been deep but not any more. There are fish down deep but the best action has been 35 to 65 feet down. Thirteen year old Master Jack Hansen battled this sixteen pound two ounce Lake Trout up from 100 feet down. The trophy came on a Vulcan Magnum Monkey Puke Glow Spoon. Vulcan spoons are made by http://www.badgertackle.com
Presentations
Our best presentations are 8 & 10 color Cortland lead core and downriggers 40 to 75 down. Fish have been on regular and magnum spoons in a blue and silver or green and silver pattern. Our best boat speed is 1.7 to 2.0 mph on the Depth Raider. Divers are producing very well set to #2 with 50 to 125 feet of line out with the ring.
Where!
Cold water is in and there is an all day bite from the break wall and out to 150 feet. With all the current troll southwest to northeast. Set up in 60 and troll northeast. Out in front of the water filtration plant is a good option for small boat anglers the fish seem to be closer to shore in that location. Have a great fishing season. Let’s go fishing!!

Morning Action
Clear skies and calm winds go deep to 110 to 150 feet. With all the current troll southwest to northeast. Set up in 110 and beat the bottom for the deep marks as it gets deeper. Our Lowrance HDS Gen 2 has been keeping us on fish with most of the marks in 105 to 155 feet. Tons of warm water out there and a very slow troll (1.5 – 1.7 MPH) has been best with Badger Tackle Magnum Reaper spoons. Bill and Mike Imhoff double teamed this 21.5 pound 35 inch Chinook. Smile and laughs all around with action on some of the biggest fish of the year the last five days. Reaper spoons are made by http://www.badgertackle.com
