    Some of the best coho fishing is in April and May on the south end of the lake but the fish are small, 1-3 lbs. That is fairly reliable fishery. The best king fishing last year was in May due to conditions that had fish concentrated in the SW side of Michigan. That is not a sure thing, King fishing was tougher there in prior years and sometime Wisconsin gets the concentration in spring. It is really wind and water dependent. A more predictable fishery is from the 3rd week of July to mid August off north central MI and WI. Salmon populations are down in recent years from lower stocking and inconsistent natural reproduction. It seems the best fishing in recent years is dependent on water conditions concentrating bait and fish. If you could pick your port as close to your dates based on recent conditions, that will result in the best success but that can be tough when booking travel and charters in advance. If you can fish weekdays, you can book a charter on short notice. Scroll back in time on the Lk Michigan salmon reports forum and you can get a feel for the action last year.

    First time out this year. No bites today on our offerings of fresh steelie skein, fresh steelie bags and boiled single salmon eggs. Fished from 9:30 to 2:30 and shuffled on down from the end to inside.

    Mark your calendars! GLSI is holding a general membership and information meeting on March 2nd, 2019 from 2PM to 5PM at Jay's Sporting Goods in Clare. Join us to see what we've been up to, what we plan to do, get your questions answered on the status of many key issues related to the Salmon Fishing Industry. We will be electing officers, hoping to add members to the board of directors, and seeking input for direction and concerns for our mission. Come prepared to renew your membership or join us as we work to save the silver fishery for our Great Lakes.

    Sometime steering and throttle cables will tighten up over winter if old and you might need to replace the cable.

    Welcome Gary, I fish by you in the winter, early spring.

    http://southhavensteelheaders.com/community-service/swap-meet/This took place last year so you might want to watch their website to see if they have a 2019 swap meet. Usually swap meet planning doesn't get underway until later winter after the holidays.

    Are spare parts available or are they obsolete? Many people are not buying trolling gear this time of year and that's factor but if electric and obsolete, your price maybe a bit high. If you are in no rush, the market will pick up as winter ends.

    Sure has been a strange fall, weather has been some of the worst in years for cold and rain. Hopefully we get some mild spells this winter for some steelheading.

    Welcome back, not many still trolling now but it will pick back up in the spring.

    Nice catch!

    We started off in 240 fow of water off the project and trolled SW out to 450fow. Went a long ways until our first bite after sunrise but we lost that one. Around 400 fow, we boated a double and then a 3rd so we turned around and worked that spot for a while with no more hits. Ended up 3 for 5. Had a warbler visit us for a while in the boat. Fished came on DW super slim 2 face on a rigger down 60. A high diver with a kevin's girlfriend and pickled sunshine fly out 200ft and blue bubble spin doctor and fly on a hi diver out 180.

    Link here with a phone number to their office and a map. Waterfowl is closed for a big chunk of rabbit season but check with the office for the rules there. http://www.michigandnr.com/publications/pdfs/huntingwildlifehabitat/sga/Allegan_SGA_Fennvillefarm_unit_map.pdf

    Nice to get some king action, the size increase this year is great but they have cost me some tackle this season too.
