Salmon shore fishing report for Algoma , WI

Sumofrog; I’ve not fished Algoma, but shore fishing Lake Michigan from Port Washington in fall I’ve had a hand of goto baits. One if you can find but they don’t make anymore I guess, is a 3/4 oz. GLOW rattle trap. I’ve tried diffrent sizes and colors but haven’t had much luck with the other ones. Unfortunatly for me, one of my sons lost all 8 of the ones I had in 2 seasons. I saw some in the 1 oz. size at Gander Mt. but that might be too big. Glow green spoons seem to work good too.
My real personal favorite would have to be the Storm Thunderstick Jr. Green with orange belli& black stripes.Also like jointed Rebel Fastrac in the glow green.
One evening one of my sons caught a big King with a big Rouge in its mouth. He uses the deep divers with good success. Sorry I don’t remember the color he sticks to.
Some nights they go nuts, some nights they won’t hit hardly anything. Seems like when a fresh bunch roll in you’ll get a lot. One night no one around me was getting anything except myson on a dark orange reef runner. He say’s he’ll only do good on that one once or twice a season.
My best advice is to have the baits I mentioned above and then a bunch of others incase they don’t work. Sometimes you just have to throw the tackle box at them till you find what works. Get some high crome silver spoons, a good assortment of cleo’s, and some perch or clown colored crocadile spoons too! Have at ’em and good luck!
One last note. Use the glow colors during the day and not just when its dark. you don’t need to flash them till dark either.

Otstanding! Thank you so much for your input. I will keep your advice in my tackle box and on the line. I must say; I threw my Bomber deep diver (18 Ft.) Clown Crank and thought it was hits, but maybe snagging with one of the trebles. It was kind of wierd…reflecting I believe they were short striking. Oh well, I hope to get back up there this weekend, if the wife will let me. The way gas is now, it’s a chunk of change from the other side of the State. Maybe I can talk my buddy Steiny in splitting the cost of gas. Hey, thanks again and Good Fishing!
