Milwaukee Fishing Salmon Reports August 19th 2010

By Capt. Jim Hirt

We’re back to more consistent action on all species in a variety of sizes. As usual temperature is the key. Most productive presentation the last several days has been Magnum Reaper spoons in silver with green or blue green accent stripes. The Magnum Pea**** and Fish n Chip have been my go to spoon for my 5, 6, 8 and 10 color lead cores. Downriggers are also producing with the same spoons and some flasher flies. The best depths for downriggers have been 45, 60, 70 and 100 feet. The fish are down deeper from my last report. The fish are in depths of 90 to 170 feet of water. Lake Trout are always available even on the slower days when you slow the boat down to 1.5 MPH measured at the ball with the Depth Raider. The Depth Raider is an essential part of your tools for trolling with the current we have on Lake Michigan. Speed up to 2.1 when working the Kings Let me tell you where and what to use.

Travel northeast out of the North Gap about 4 miles at a 65 degrees compass for the cold water that holds the fish. Look for fish from 40 to 100 down on all presentations. Slide Divers with 110 feet of line out are a steady producer with magnum Reaper Pea**** or Fish n Chip spoons. Glow spoons have also been working all day long in the magnum size like the Reaper Fish Fry.
