Capt. Ken Deaton of J-Lyn Charters reports from Harbor Beach:

Lake Trout fishing is good straight out and North of the harbor. Try clean spoons off the downriggers, and flashers or dodgers with flys or spin and glows close to the bottom. Fish 20 foot down to the bottom for best results. Best colors have been purple, green, blue, and white. Start fishing in 60 feet of water and work your way out to the deeper water.

Some salmon continue to be taken South, straight out and North of the harbor. For best results, fish clean spoons off the downriggers 30 to 60 feet down. Good colors have been silver, blue, green and black. Also try some flashers with flys off the dowriggers or dipsey divers as well. Start in 45 feet of water and work out till you find where they are setting.

Steelhead fishing is slow but should continue to pick up. Put out some long lines with the Offshore boards, try clean spoons, and body baits. Best colors have been bright orange, pinks, greens and yellows. Try some 2, 5, and 8 color lead lines as well.

Brown Trout have been being taken in close to shore working the 25 to 45 foot of water areas South and North of the harbor. Body baits and clean spoons should work, try perch, green, and blue colors.

If you want to try for some walleye try North of the harbor working in close to shore, 25 to 40 feet of water.

Try for the perch by the lighthouse or South by the cemetery using minnows in 20 to 30 feet of water.

Capt. Ken Deaton of J-Lyn Charters reports from Harbor Beach:

Looks like the wind will keep us on shore for the first part of the week, but once it settles down give this a try.

Before the big winds. There were some nice size Salmon taken this weekend South and straight out from the harbor. Try starting in 45 to 50 feet of water first thing in the morning and work your way out as the sun comes up. Try spoons off the downriggers set from 15 feet down to the bottom. Spoons on the offshore boards running the tadpoles with long lines are working well. Best colors continue to be the blues, greens, silver, and the fire tiger. Also try some body baits on the boards as well.

There were some nice Lake Trout taken out in the deeper water, straight out and North of the harbor, start in 60 to 70 feet and work out till you find where they are setting. Spoons or dodgers with flys 40 feet down to the bottom were working.

Put out some long lines or lead lines with bright colored spoons off the boards for some steelhead. Oranges, yellows, bright greens and blues are good colors.

If you want to try for some perch, try minnows by the lighthouse or South by the cemetery. Start in 25 feet and work around till you find them.

Brown Trout will be in close, use long lines to get back away from the boat. Body baits and spoons in blue, silver, purple or green are good.

Capt. Ken Deaton of J-Lyn Charters reports from Harbor Beach:

Salmon fishing has slowed a little with the water clearing up some. Try South of the harbor starting in 30 feet of water first thing in the morning and work your way out as the sun comes up. Try spoons off the downriggers set from 12 feet down to the bottom. Spoons on the offshore boards running the tadpoles with long lines are working well. Best colors are blues, greens, silver, and the fire tiger. Also try some body baits on the boards as well.

Captain Rick Konecki of Wipe Out Charters Reports from Alpena:

Walleye are being caught at and around the Thunder Bay River in Alpena.
# 18 rapala are working good also there are a few people vertical jigging in the river.
Have a great weekend

Capt. Ken Deaton of J-Lyn Charters reports from Harbor Beach:

Salmon fishing is good with some Kings, Coho, and even an Atlantic or
two being taken South of the harbor in 25 to 40 feet of water. Try blue
dolphin silver streaks off the downriggers 6 to 15 feet down. Dipsey
divers out 22 feet with spoons, green, blue and orange colors have been
good. Try three ways off the offshore boards with a big lip bomber on
the bottom and a spoon over top for added action. Fish the mud lines,
the fish are setting right along them. If you fish the clear water get
your lures back away from the boat.

Lake Trout are being taken in close as well using the same methods as
for the salmon.

Brown Trout are South of the harbor in close to shore. Get your lines
back from the boat, top to bottom, just be careful in close with all the
rocks. Spoons and body baits are working well, blue, yellows and green
colors are working well.

If you want to try for some perch you might try inside the harbor along
the channel and by the lighthouse using minnows.

Be safe, and keep those lines tight!
