Bassboss

Hey! New here. I'm from Florida and have never fished for salmon in my life, but have always wanted to. I recently moved to Shawano Wisconsin, and want to target em. I'm a bass fishin aficionado, and have been doing it for years. I don't have a boat, and I was wondering if yall could help me with a few thing. When do salmon come near piers and into rivers? What are some simple tactics I can use to catch em? Can I use a bass baitcaster for em? If anyone knows the area of lake Michigan around green bay well, could you help me with finding some good areas? Thanks for any help! Let me know if you need any more info that'll help you guys out in answering my question.
