Yes there are Salmon off of Charlevoix, and yes they are kings. Typically I consider Charlevoix to be three separate pieces of structure. An outer bank running from Fisherman's State Park North towards the Red can. Off of the cement plant, the area roughly from the red can to the Pine River. Lastly is the area from Pine River North towards McSauba ski hill/point. For the outer bank we usually 100-200 fow in a north south direction. You need to be mindful because there were reports last summer a gill net in the fisherman island area that a couple guys lost tackle on. The cement plant area is an east west troll in 85-150 fow. The ski hill area is a north south troll from 80-150 fow. At the north end of the ski hill you will see a point running out you need to pay attention because it is easy to hang up your gear. There are a few of my cannonballs and a probe out there. Run a normal spread of 4 riggers, 4 dipseys, 1 chute thumper, and 4-6 Cu or Pb rigs out to the sides. Spoons are typical blue/silver, green,silver, orange crush. Dodger fly combinations are typically 8" white or white glow, with green flies. J-plugs are chromes and glows. Lake trout are usually found in the area year around. We start getting kings around early June and have them in the area until the water warms in early July. We have caught them in July but not with a consistent pattern as they scatter with bait/temperature. Occasionally we hook into a brown or steel head, but not with enough numbers to get excited about. Usually by the second week of August the kings start showing up around dusk. The fish numbers continue to build until spawn. Around labor day the after dark glow plugs bite starts to pick up. A lot of guys anchor and cast glow spoons on the thirty foot flat around the boat launch by the cement plant after dark. You can try to follow the fish up into Lake Charlevoix. The area around the Coast Guard station sometimes has fish. We've caught them off of Hemingway point and around Boyne City. Try to fish the week days as much as possible after the middle of August Charlevoix gets packed with boats and starts to resemble combat fishing on the weekends. In my opinion it might be harder to fish Charlevoix in late August than any time of year. You have to scale back your program and you can't troll the shelf as effectively because of the traffic. At times you are better off to drop outside and look for a school of fish to target. Listen to the radio as much as possible. There are a couple guys who will talk about their secret what ever, probably Vagisil? Most guys will talk to you if you ask. Pay attention to the boats working the out side areas a few hours before sunset. If they aren't moving or they keep passing through the same area it might be worth trolling out and taking a look. Come sunset though you will want to be around the river mouth. You can try to call the DNR office at Charlevoix or some of the charters.
