Milwaukee Fishing Lake Michigan Salmon Report 6/27/11
By Milwaukee Wisconsin fishing charter Capt. Jim Hirt
Coho Good, Chinooks Good In Milwaukee!
Coho have slowed down some but still a big part of the catch. Deep water is the place to go with fish going down to find their preferred temperature. Surface is warming and the key is looking for fish by temperature. To get my fish reports and how to videos first go to http://www.jimhirt.com By subscribing you will keep ahead of the other anglers.

How
With the warmer water the most aggressive Coho and Chinooks are coming on magnum spoons. Reapers and Vulcans made by http://www.badgertackle.com have been working for us. The Magnum Reaper Big Joe Silver has been leading the pack for top producer over the past two days. This spoon on 150 copper behind a Church Walleye Board is one of our best presentations. Six, eight and ten color leadcores are also working. Six inch flashers or dodgers with green or blue Johnnie peanut flies must be part of your presentation for Coho. Coho are from 35 feet to the bottom on downriggers as well. Chinooks are 60 to 125 down. Slide Divers have not been that productive on the bright sunny sky we had over the weekend and should improve on overcast days ahead. The surface is almost sixty degrees and it is time to work the Rainbow Trout in the top twenty feet. Two and Three color leadcore with the Regular Vulcan Dolphin Green and Silver has taken Rainbows to nine pounds the last several days. A little faster speed about 2.5 is required for Rainbows. I use the Depth Raider to measure speed at the ball. The big Chinook are hitting on Reaper Magnum Glow spoons. The boat speed of 1.9 to 2.2 has been best. Tie your flies 16 inches on 6 inch dodgers, 18 inches for 6 inch flashers. All orange dodgers and flashers. I hope this helps.
Where!
Fish all the way out east of Milwaukee to 200 feet of water. Head out the Main gap Milwaukee 85 degrees. Fish east out in 180 to 240 feet of water for the best action. Have a great fishing season.
