Guest Posted January 19, 2003 Share Posted January 19, 2003 I know it's a ways away but when is the best time of the year to go Salmon fishing on Lake Michigan? A few of us are thinking of going out of Port Washington or Algoma this summer and I wanted some idea about when to make a reservaion. Which of these two ports do you recomend? We live in the north metro area.------------------<II>'''' U Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
setterguy Posted January 20, 2003 Share Posted January 20, 2003 We usually go out there about the last week in July and have had real good success. I would tend to stay with Algoma, not to say the others arne't as good just my personal experience. Check out the sportsman show in March, there are a lot of good charters that will be there ask the guides when to make a reservation. Good Luck.

Guest Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 setterguy...Thanks, I now have somewhere to start. I go to the March Sportshow every year so I will keep my eye open for an Algoma charter. Is it best to go out for 8 or 10 hours straight or do 4 hours in the afternoon and then 4 hours the next morning? We are planning on staying overnight on a Saturday.------------------<II>'''' U Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpikeRoberts Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 I had a great experience with Kodiak II Charter out of Algoma. Great guys and they put us on fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 I recommend going out of Algoma, which I have done several times. I wouldn't know if it is better than other ports, but that is what I have been told by people that should know. Check out RV Charters in Algoma..they do a great job. On the time of the year that you should go we have had luck in August but you are supposed to catch more of the 20+lbers in september[This message has been edited by sthwstfisherman (edited 01-26-2003).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 The Sportshow starts next week and I would still like some more suggestions about where/when to go fishing on Lake Michigan before I get to the show. Thanx again for the replys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
traveler Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 I havn't chartered on lake MI, but have fished it in my own boat a little. From what I know you'll find good fishing at each port, but as the season goes on the bite gets hotter further north. We've done very well on cohos out of port washington and racine in july, less good for kings out of sturgoen bay in August, but that was partly due to our boat being too small. So depending on when you want to go, you'll find good fishing somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Rock Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 afta: I've been out of port with the Fox brothers. Nice boats and good time. Out of Sheboygan Dumper Dan is also very good. I'll see if I can find web sites to post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
