Fishing is very good all over the north shore right now from the Lester to 2 harbors. Lake trout and steelhead are being caught in numbers. Due to the murky water there are lots of fish up high, and I mean top 20 feet of the water column over 500 feet. Went 12 for 15 today in a short period of time. Spoons and cranks are producing. Will report more later, gotta get the boat back in order for tomorrow morning!
How big are they running Grant?
The pattern that I’m on is producing 3 to 5 pound lakers with 6 to 9 pound steelhead mixed in. There are bigger lake trout being caught but the area that I’m fishing hasn’t showed me a 10 pounder yet, but the numbers are there. My guess is the smaller fish are up top as the big girls are down deeper but that’s just me. Hopefully some big ones will show up tomorrow!
Thanks for the report, looks like we’ll be hitting the lake next week.

That sounds AWESOME Grant!! I would absolutley love to fish for those Lake Trout and “Steelies” someday. Your a lucky man having Lake Superior in your backyard Bud!! 
No doubt, Grant – fishing for the trouts has been superb as of late..
Hey grant you going out tuesday or wednesday? I was wondering if you had room for a guy to learn more about it?I was out on grindstone in pine county and we (My old man)caught one laker and had one hit that snapped the light line. I will help out with what ever cost you need!!! Please help

I haven’t been in town much the past 3 weeks so I’m not on top of the bite out of Duluth but I’m out right now and flasher and fly off a downrigger is producing, nothing on spoons or boards. Water temps in the upper 50’s
Have hooked 4 in the past half hour in 120 feet right on bottom. About one mile east of mcquade.
Sounds like you had another good day.
We went out of Superior yesturday and once again the lake was flat as glass, hit a 6-6.5# coho first thing and it went downhill from then, didn’t see another fish (5# laker) till we were heading in.
We tried bomers, spoons, fly’s and who knows what else, used planers, snap wieghts and riggers mostly and made it out to about 95-100 foot…sounds like we should have gone out a bit futher..:)
We were marking fish, just were not biting.

Yeah that lake was as flat as she gets all day long! made for tough fishing especially with the high sun. Luckily we found a presentation that worked well when absolutely nothing else was. Changing stuff up every 20 minutes pays off every now and then. By no means did we do great but were able to put a few in the boat.
Nice job on the big coho! That’s a great fish.
Ya thanks, we played C&R ysterday so it was a lucky fish too.. 
All that sun and the 2.5 hour drive home in the dark got to be pretty long, still hoping to get out one more time though.

edit…my fishing partners says that 5 pounder was a bit lighter than that..:)We tried bomers, spoons, fly’s and who knows what else, used planers, snap wieghts and riggers mostly and made it out to about 95-100 foot…sounds like we should have gone out a bit futher..:)
