Well finally got out on the big lake Saturday morning!!! Windy but fishable!!! Dropped in at 25’ water temperature was 42. Trolled for several hours without a bite. Most boats on the radio were struggling too. Finally around 10 am dipsey got hit with a orange spindocktor green peanut fly. First Coho of the year. Had a great time with my grandson Carter. No skunk!!!!! Hopefully next week will be better as the water warms up!!!
Lake Michigan, Sheboygan

41° - 45° F
I was set up before 8am today, conditions were wonderful this morning. Water warmed up and is 38-39 north of the golf course and I saw 42° in the harbor. Ended the day 4-7 all browns between 10-15ft of water. Crankbaits with green or chartreuse worked best behind boards 40-90ft. Stayed between 2.2-2.5mph on the gps. Stay dry and tight lines!
Deacon it’s not much like fishing Cheq Bay or the islands, other than trolling the same stuff. Right now it’s all browns with possibly a steelhead mixed in. I fish Superior as well and this is a bit more finicky.
The key is to find chalky or fuzzy water and warm pockets. Clear water is tough. Most of the fish I catch are under 10’. I think I fish shallower than most but again the key is water temp and clarity. Fish north of Sheboygan off the golf course. Good place to start. I run Smaller jointed stick baits at around 2.0 mph. I run a mix of natural snd bright colors and see what is hit that day. I run mine only between 25-50 feet back because I target shallow fish. Notice I keep saying this is what “I” do.. other guys have their patterns.. this method works for me.
