Milwaukee Fishing Lake Michigan Salmon Report 5/12/12

By Wisconsin fishing charter Capt. Jim Hirt

Great Weather Outstanding Fishing Milwaukee!

Weather has finally come around. Don’t miss this opportunity to fill the box with an all species limit. Kings to 18 pounds yesterday! Fish from 80 to 125 feet of water. Some action in closer to shore but the hot action is out. Note For the month of May mention this report and receive one free hour of fishing with a five hour charter booked and taken in May!!!! All alone we put together groups at $125 per person. The hot bait was the regular size Reaper Glow spoons made by

http://www.badgertackle.com We also had action on Spin Doctors or orange flashers and flies.

How!

Our best presentations are 8 color Cortland lead core and downriggers 55 down to five feet off the bottom. The fish have been on regular and magnum spoons in a blue and silver pattern. The Vulcan Magnum and regular Reaper spoons by Badger Tackle have caught most of our fish. Six inch orange dodgers and Johnnie Peanut Flies are also doing a good job on Coho. Our best boat speed is 1.7 to 2.0 mph. Slide Divers are producing very well set to #2 with 70 to 90 feet of line out with the ring.

Where!

Head northeast, southeast or due east out the north gap Milwaukee and fish in 80 to 125 feet of water. 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. Water color may be an issue if it is cloudy move out of the cloudy water for the best action. Have a great fishing season. Let's go fishing!!
