Capt. Janice Deaton reports from SLH J-Lyn Charters Lake Trout being taken in 90 to 140 foot of water areas straight out and North of the harbor using clean spoons off the downriggers and dodgers and squids off the bottom. Green, Yellow with black dots, and orange colors have still been working. Quicker speeds are working best. Some steelhead are starting to be taken out near the color lines fishing the top 50 foot of water with bright orange, green and yellow colors. Try using some 2, 3, 5, and 10 color lead lines off those Offshore boards. A few nice Coho were taken mixed in with the steelhead on the same lures. Be aware that there have been some reports of a free floating net straight out of the harbor in 100 foot of water setting close to the bottom with a couple of lines on the ends that come up on both ends to 70 foot that some fishermen have been getting their cannon balls caught up in, for your safety keep a pair of wire cutters close to the back of your boat near the … [Read more...]

Capt. John Giszczak Secretary MCBA Stray Cat Charters reports from Lake Erie Once again the weather is playing a big roll in the fishing on Lake Erie in the Western Basin near Monroe, Michigan. The wind seems to switch everyday and sometimes during my trips, shutting the walleye down. Walleye fishing has been very good in the morning from 6am till about 10am. The afternoon bite has been spotty. I caught all 20 inch plus fish between Sputnik and West Sister Island in 26 to 30 feet of water Wednesday morning. I went back out on my afternoon trip and it looked like a desert, fishing was painfully slow. The walleye were deep, I fished mini disc’s from 100 to 110 feet back. I also tried 30 jet divers 90 back, both seemed to produce. The fish seemed to prefer Silver Streak spoons with copper backs. Shrimp, puff’s, UV mango, Blueberry Muffin on the high divers 55 to 62 back and mixed Veggies on the low divers 38 to 42 back. The North water from The Raisin River up to Stoney Point and the … [Read more...]

Capt. Eric Andersen from Andersen Charters at Frankfort, MI reports....The word is "Steelhead " lots of Steelhead. The last week ,week and a half...the offshore thermo break fishing has been super...We have been averaging 30 to 35 fish on the "hook" and around 15 to 18 fish to the net...This is all on a 1/2 day charter .To average 5 fish "on" per hour hour is really great fishing in my book. Steelhead are hitting small Stinger small spoons and Warrior flutter spoons in orange/silver color combos.. while running a fairly fast troll using planerboards .This fishery should last until around mid July or until the big lake warms up accross the entire lake..Temp breaks have went from 54 clear down to 39 degrees along these breaks or slicks in less than a mile while making a troll west out of Frankfort. Charters out of Frankfort,Glen Arbor and Leland are doing limit catches of Lake Trout along with a few King Salmon. The Kings will show up in greater number in the next several … [Read more...]

With the bad storms and wind we have just had the fish will be scattered some so you will need to look for them. Try fishing the deeper water first. Lake Trout were being taken in 65 to 100 foot of water straight out and North of the harbor using clean spoons off the downriggers, and dodgers with spin and glows close to the bottom. Start in 120 foot of water and work your way in and out till you find them. Try some green, blue and pink colors. A few Steelhead were starting to be caught in 60 to 100 foot of water. Look for those color lines and work them for best results. Try using clean spoons off the Offshore boards and downriggers working the top 40 to 60 feet. Try some 2, 5, and 10 colored lead lines as well. Bright colors are working best. Salmon are still slow but a few were caught mixed in with the steelhead. Keep those lines tight, Captains Ken and Janice Deaton J-Lyn Charters Harbor Beach MI … [Read more...]

Capt. Ron Westrate, Director SLM, reports from First Call ll . The creel this past week consisted of 99% lake trout and an occasional salmon or steelhead. The best fishing early in the week was 70 to 80 foot of water, however, by the weekend the best depth was the 90 to 100 foot depth. The fishing is still very good with morning charter creel numbers in the teens and afternoon charters producing numbers of 6 to 10 fish. The best method continues to be metal dodgers and spin n glos on the bottom for the lake trout and meat rigs 50 to 70 foot down for the salmon. We have been running the outdowns and low divers on the bottom and the middle rigger and the high divers 50 to 70 foot down. There has been very little action with the copper, although we are running 200, 300 and 400 foot of copper every time out. Perch fishing this past week was poor with reports of 6 to 20 fish but many boats failed to catch any perch but all the golbies you would want. Pier fishing was very … [Read more...]
