Lake Michigan, Sheboygan (all postings)

Been having the same action as everyone else has posted so ill keep it at that. Hot set ups for me for the cohos and rainbows have been 1-3 color leadcores with orange dodgers and green peanut flys or pro spoons in pinks and oranges. The kings have come on coppers, wire dipsys, and downriggers with white or chrome 8" flashers with a Naughty leprechaun, Naughty frog, and super frog from Poseidon Flies. Will be out everyday this week and looking like a nice consistent weather that should increase the fishing action even more! Thank to all the Fathers out there today!

This King Salmon ( center picture ) beats our last one from just a few days ago as this angler won the hard fought battle with this 27.52 pounder! The Kings are coming 60 to 90 feet down in water depths of 100 to 150 foot south of town on the downriggers, copper board set-ups, mag and wire divers while using 8" rotating flasher fly combinations. We have a great variety of Coho Salmon and Rainbow Trout here off the port of Sheboygan but to land some lunkers like these are sure a bonus. Maybe it is the year we top our ports personal best which was a 39 pound 10 ounce King Salmon caught by a client of mine from Germantown, WI aboard Dumper Dan I back in 1996? We have a long way to go to hit that number.

Have fun and good luck fishing!

Fishing has continued to pick up and be more like a summer bite now that the water is warming up. Some big catches have been caught this week with rainbows, coho, kings and lakers in most of the catches. Fish are being caught in 90ft-220ft of water. Alot of boats are having success going east and west. Rainbows and cohos are coming in the top 40 on small spoons and orange dodgers/peanut flies. Pro King's pro spoon in the medic color and michigan stingers steelie stomper have been red hot. We have other uv colored spoons on our hot board that have been very productive as well. Kings and Lakers are coming from 40-80 down in the water column on flasher/flies. Some of Pro King's new flashers and flies are red hot right now. Dragon Slayer, Antifreeze, Green Anti Freeze and Magic Man to name a few. The hot flies have been papparazi, gremlin, jacked up and aqua man. Stop in @anglers avenue and check out the hot board to see where and what there biting on.

Was out this morning and went 6-10. 4 kings 15-18 LBS 1 laker and a coho. We fished 90-125 south of the nets. Hot set up was green fly on silver flasher with green and black dots, 100 feet out on the mag dipsy. 5 on this set up. The coho cam 92'on rigger the laker on dipsy 70' out

Friends were out last night and did real well straight out by the nets. Some real nice kings on a mix of flasher fly and spoons. Lake was calm.

Also just want to let every one know Ziggy is having a shootout next Saturday. 2 people 6 rods (not just a couples tourney anymore). It will be held at the wharf. You need to sign up by tomorrow so that the band can be booked and food ordered. Need at least 12 boats to make it happen so get to the wharf and sign up! It will be alot of fun. The Wharf's number is 458-4406.

need sum west winds 4 a few days, dat wood or mite help bring dem in. who knows unless you go.

fishing on the pier sucks, maybe in like a week or 2 then there mite be sum activity. lots of bait around the piers. watch the web cams 4 boats trolling the pier heads.

Just wondering if anyone has had any luck fishing off the piers lately.

6 for 9.......... way more laughs than fish......... worked 95 to 140 FOW marked plenty of bait and Kings but no big guys tonight.............

Stop @ Harbor Centre Marina. All net gps points are posted on the info board.

Be very careful out there if you don't know exactly where they are; I heard Screamin Drag Charters (Screamin Drag on Lake-Link)got hung in them the other day in the fog and lost a bunch of gear off his boat.

I have the south set (2 nets) punched into my chartplotter on the boat but not sure if I'll make it over there or not tonight. I'll be out in the morning and can try and post them via cell phone.

Heading over for the first trip of the year this weekend and off next week to do some fishing. Can some one give me the Coordinates for the nets out of Sheboygan? I have been looking and can only find the net locations for the Manty/Two rivers area. I like to have them all plotted before heading out in low light conditions. Not looking for anybody spots just net locations so I dont get into trouble before sun up not being able to see the markers in low light. PM if you like.

Thanks for the Help Guys

23 pounder and 2 cohos this morning. Lost 2. All FF. Worked around 100 FOW south most of the morning.....good luck.

Larger fish continue to be landed off the port of Sheboygan. Today we hauled in a 22.8 and a 26.5 pound King Salmon. Yesterday another 15.5 pound Rainbow Trout. What a great time catching both large fish along with big numbers as our customers are going home with coolers full of Trout and Salmon. Even with the cooler than normal air temperatures we were able to run 113 trips the first 10 days of June. Everyday we see more boat traffic as anglers are taking advantage of this great fishing. Water depths of 120 to 180 foot south of town remain a good area which is just outside and south of the nets.

Our hats off to Wayne, Kim and the entire Screamin Drag crew for a great Salmon Cup Anglers Avenue win this past weekend! Good job as your two day game plan and staying focused paid off big for you! Good luck fishing and we will see you on the water!

Overall fishing this past weekend was very difficult, we were King fishing for the Salmon Cup but that made other bites hard to come by. Friday afternoon was pretty good, but it went downhill from there for us. Caught 4 lakers, 2 Coho and 1 monster 24.11# King on Friday afternoon. All in 90-130fow off the stacks. The king came on a wire diver with a UV Green Edge Pro-troll and Poseidon Naughty Leprechaun and gave a fantastic fight in the cold water. Saturday morning was tough as we went 3 for 9, we landed one 18# King that took the same UV Green Edge Pro-troll and Poseidon Naughty Leprechaun combo, a 10# laker and a nice bow. We lost 6 others as well. Once again we were fishing 90-120fow, marked lots of bait and fish but they weren't interested.

Same story on Sunday as we went 4 for 6 with 2 coho, a 14# King and a 6# laker. Water was like glass both days, fish were just turned off. Picture is of the 24# King and shot of our depthfinder showing schools of well fed uninterested salmon. Oh well that's fishing!
