Lake Michigan Salmon Fishing Report 6/24/2019 Hello all thank you for reading my reports. Joe Laura and Jonathan Wolf from Mansfield Texas had fair weather and a multi species catch on a beautiful day on Lake Michigan. I enjoyed the opportunity to fish with them.

The most exciting fishing on the lake is now and will continue through the Summer don’t miss out. Good weather and lake conditions will fill the cooler in the future.

The colder spring lead to a slower than normal start to the Port Washington Charter fishing season. In May we were targeting lake trout due to the cooler than normal water temps and lack of kings and coho salmon. Today however we finally had a decent morning with mostly king salmon and and a couple of coho salmon. With the water warming up numbers...

We have definitely turned the corner and have seen a major improvement in angling success. The ups and downs of past weeks are behind us and good weather and lake conditions will fill the cooler in the future.

I see improvement as we progressed through the week. The water is warming up and there is pods of forage from 70 feet of water to shore. The recent changes has brought some Chinooks and Coho in.

Mostly Browns with some Rainbows and Coho. Not much has changed since the last report. Plenty of cold weather and rain has slowed catch rates with fewer anglers on the water.

Early May fishing is very good. Most of our charter trips are catching 10 to 12 fish. Mostly Browns with some Rainbows and Coho.

Fish are in the colder water out over 80 feet. We fished north and south in 80 to 120 feet. We did not get out over 120 feet of water yesterday. Have a great fishing season.

For all fish speed has been very critical with the warmer 70 degree water. A temp break to 52 degrees is at 55 feet. I use the Depth Raider to measure speed and temp at the ball. The boat speed of 1.7 to 2.0 has been best.

With July coming to an end Port Washington Charter fishing has remained fairly consistent. Coho salmon have surprisingly stuck around in good numbers for most of the month and have made up a good part of our catches. There have been some slower trips  but most morning we have been getting double digit catches. We were fishing anywhere from 80 feet...

Charter fishing out of Port Washington has become a little more challenging this past week however we are still bringing in some good mixed bag catches. We have had to work a little harder and fish a lot further out than normal but have been getting a good variety of king salmon coho salmon steal head and lake trout. Now is a great time to get out...

If you want numbers now is time to go charter fishing out of Port Washington. As of this week there are definitely more coho salmon around which can make for some easy limits. The water off of Port is warming up and there is an abundance of bait fish around that should make for good fishing through the next couple weeks.  If you want in on the acti...
