I am heading out over labor day weekend to get a first hand look…
August 20, 2009 at 2:41 pm #799021Mike,
Just got of the phone with a friend in Millwakee (sp?), he scored two last night of the peer, biggest was 12lbs. He’s going again right now, I’ll keep you posted. I’ll be heading to Port Wash in few weeks.
August 20, 2009 at 2:45 pm #799024Sounds good guys. I have the two middle weekends in Sept set aside. Kinda sounds like we will be going the first one if things keep progressing along so fast. May even have to consider Labor Day. Fingers crossed on weather. Last year it killed us.

PS-A Wisconsin resident that doesnt know how to spell Milwaukee is a very sad sight indeed…
August 20, 2009 at 2:56 pm #799030They’ve been in all of August and part of July!! The west winds have been blowing all of the warm water out… The cold upwellings are keeping the fish close. Many guys have even been fishing 10-20 fow and doing well. Shore guys catching them as well, I guess. We did really well in 55 fow at PW a few weeks back..

August 20, 2009 at 3:08 pm #799040Good deal. Just ordered a new Beckman salmon/musky net.
That’s a once-in-a-lifetime event!!!
You guys are scaring me with these reports of fish being close but I imagine it wont impact their spawning run. At least I hope not.August 20, 2009 at 3:21 pm #799046I am NOT a WI resident Mike! And I don’t like football for what it’s worth either!
August 20, 2009 at 4:25 pm #799072Sorry. I forgot you just worked there. So your a Mn resident feeding off the Wi teet.
August 20, 2009 at 4:54 pm #799084I needed a job that I could drive over the river twice a day, just to check things out. Also a very short run up the hill if I get paged on the weekend. Oh, and after I get done with the page, I can get bait, beer, and chow on my way back to the boat, all on the same street! Sorry, off topic I know…..
August 21, 2009 at 2:13 pm #799333Email from my buddy, he fished yesterday. His last statement is in regards to my question whether a cat pole would be too heavy to use.
“Fished Milwaukee pier yesterday afternoon. Started at 4:30, 6:15 got a 23lb king (10lb test)
7:15 had another hit, fish on, drag zing, snap! rod broke in 3 pieces.
I retract my statement about “regular” gear.”August 21, 2009 at 9:27 pm #799523Fished on Tuesday evening out of a friends boat and were 3 for 5 biggest was 16lb King. We were in 50 to 8oft. Took a charter out Wednesday evening and was 8 for 10 biggest was 12 lbs. Fished out to 130ft.
August 23, 2009 at 12:01 pm #799671“borrowed” this from another site
A lot of the four year olds have large ripe spawn sacks and looks like they’ll be in the river shortly. A lot of guys on the south pier this AM with at least three fish taken early AM. Several reports of fish on but lost because of size and tackle failure.
may want to head over soon this was from kewaunee
August 23, 2009 at 6:55 pm #799707another “borrowed” report
Went out last night out of Kewaunee. Waves were to big for me to get set up by myself so went on the south side of the pier and anchored to cast. Tons of bait around and an equal amount of fish. Had a couple on but not able to make them stick but still fun. Guys on the pier did very well saw many fish caught.
clocks ticking
August 25, 2009 at 6:33 pm #800299Just talked with the domestic committee. Sounds like we’ll be in Algoma over the labor day weekend.
I’m not sure what’s going on in my brain. I’m a hard core waterfowl hunter and labor day weekend is goose opener in MN. Am I really giving that up for a chance to fight that big king. Hell yeah I am!
August 26, 2009 at 8:59 pm #800630Good luck in Algoma. Looking forward to hearing your report.

Such is life. Domestic Committee has been accepted into the nursing program and will not be able to get away for a long weekend like that. Oh well, Guess I’ll just have to go shoot a goose that weekend. And maybe chase a walleye locally.August 28, 2009 at 6:52 pm #801203Do ya think they will hang around till the weekend after Labor day?
