Report for 5-25-am. My clients were greeted with a flat lake, that was a pleasure to fish today. We worked 50 to 70 fow that held pockets of cohos while trolling.We went 12 for????? missed easily double of what we caught.The fish had some 4-5 inch shad in there stomach's,but yet preferred peanut flies.Flasher choice was Orange spin doctors and action flasher.We also got a nice laker for the smoker. Thanks Will and party. Captain Scott

Went out this morning and did a little fun fishing. Got set up a about 9am. Worked 50-110ft.Had a 2-man limit and missed more than we caught.Everyone I talked to did well. Bird's worked best with the orange dodger's and peanut flies. Be out in the morning, good luck.

Hello all,

Just wondering if I could get a little help. I'm heading down here to try some Coho/Salmon fishing on Saturday. I have never fished coho before, but have lots of gear for salmon/walleye.

Are there any nets or hazards to be aware of out of this port?

What pound test do you use for the leader between dodger and peanut fly?

Do small crank baits work?

PM me please, I don't want to fill this thread with non fishing reports.

Thanks!!

12-17 inches

how long of a leader do you prefer on the peanut flies? thanks in advance.

Went out this morning on friends charter again. Started in 50ft. action slow for the first hour and a half. We then worked out and that was the ticket. Had over 30 strikes and boated 17. Mostly all coho ,one king and a rainbow. Yellow bird's with orange dodger's and the peanut flies worked best.

Fished Saturday morning 30 to 100ft. Little orange dodger's and coho flies and down riggers with spoons and flasher flys for kings deeper. Fishing will only get better as more cohos come threw and water warms up a bit for the kings.

Went out on a solo run last night.

CCA- I think that's the one that I had on!!!

Great job! I guess I would rephrase by comment on the "pig browns" because they weren't as big as that one.

Ben- No secrets here, just watch the reports call this # 1-866-516-2796. This number is for the Port fishing hotline

I will PM you my cell, I get out a couple/few times per month (whatever the wife allows me to do)

I too fish out of a 16.5 ft boat, watching the weather is key. I have fished 15 miles offshore without a concern; quite obviously knowing what the weather was going to look like.

Fishing is back to "normal" this year. April/May of 2012 was amazing with king limits just about every time out. Fishing usually starts to heat up around mid-late May in Port.

This early in the year fish the harbor and out to 50ft. Work the mudline with cranks on long leads, riggers with stinger sized spoons (long leads as well) You will be able to pick up a few browns and lakers.

I'm a young guy looking to get out fishing on the Big lake. I have a smaller boat (16foot) and am looking for some spots a bit closer to shore (w/in 1 mile). I have a GPS, and was wondering if anybody would mind helping me out with some coordinates. I'm only able to get out once every other week, and definitely won't be taking everybody's fish or giving your spots out to everybody that asks. I would just like to get out a couple times this summer and catch fish. Simple as that. If anybody is willing to help me out, I'd really appreciate it! Feel free to PM me if you desire, or if you wanna help others out too, post publicly. I'm looking for Browns, Silvers (coho), Kings, really anything good eatin'. I have downriggers and know how to use 'em (was a guide assistant in Alaska for 2 years) so I don't need to know your secret lure or style of fishing. I'm going to school to be a pastor in Mequon, and haven't lived in the area before. So I don't know the area or public knowledge on fishing the lake. Any help at all is extremely appreciated! Thanks,

~Ben

Brian- I thought this was a King also as it ripped line 175 ft. run and had the classic shark fin coming in, buddy is mounting it 35"24#, got three others as well. 20-45 ft. of water on stinger spoons.
