Algoma Report 7/15-7/20

[Tom Linderholm]

Survived our annual trip out to Kewaunee County. Fishing was pretty good with us bringing home 5 limits of kings. We fished mainly from 4am till 7am & 6pm till 10 pm all days. We generally stayed in 65'-95' FOW and fished a total of 16 miles of shore. We had multiple multiples and even a quadruple of 20's during one morning. Most fish were in the 15-20# range with some nice coho's, browns, and steelhead thrown in the mix. Low light we ran lots of glow consisting of mostly the needlenose patterns, Green hotspots with silver backing with aqua flys were best for us but many were doing well with LBB behind white/crush coyote's, we also caught a lot of fish behind a 12" Green & Orange custom Hot Spot. While the sun was up we switched up to blue/chrome spoons, whites, & pinks. These all did the trick. A couple days the lead at 10 colors w/ a needlenose were outproducing everything with hits going at least every 5 minutes. These localy made spoons are definately the ticket out there, we missed alot of fish early out there with some straightening the hooks and just generally getting off. This improved after we switched up to single hooks.

All in all we figured that we ended up going 70 for 120 over the total 5 days with us sitting one shy of our limits on Monday Evening and spending Tuesday "Hog Hunting"

I will get pics up as soon as I get them.

Jim, don't worry about it it was our pleasure to have you up there! You can just give me a little more guidance on Cheq Bay and we'll call it even.

Good luck out on Lake Michigan.

I just got back from Algoma on Sunday and we did fairly well. Fish were caught from 45-80 feet of water. Spoons and Jplugs were the best action. Fly dodger combo was not the ticket this year. Check out the photo section and I have posted a few pics.
