Lake Michigan

Okay folks, it is getting to that time of year to start heading over to Lake Michigan for salmon.  Lets get those reports rolling in.  Preferably, port you were fishing, depths you found productive and rigs and baits that you had success with.  I am headed to the bank reef in Sturgeon bay this year and will be at the lake from July 13th to the 18th.  I am learning new water as I have never fished this area before so it should be a good time.  Sounds like the bite is starting to take off over there.  I just love the squeal of the drag in the morning!

Wow, pretty quiet on this thread.  Here is a second hand report from a friend that is out fishing.  White and chrome flashers with green or blue flies, green or blue proking spoons have been good with blackfin tuna being a solid producer.  Moonshine glow spoons in hot lips, emminator, bluefin tuna and happy meal have been taking fish with the RV series producing slightly better then the standard spoons.  Surface temps are mid 50's up and down the coast from Keewaunee to Gils Rock with a temperature break at 50' down.  Kings are hitting from 80-150' in the top 70' of water, Steelhead are going strong over the deeper water 200-500' and taking spoons up high with orange and red being productive.  Heading out Tuesday and looking forward to 5 days of the salmon grind!
