what do you want to know? a lot my FMers including myself go out there quite often.

[fishinfey8]

nvm then, sorry didn't know it was "unauthorized"!

[Quickstrike]

Fishinfey, the "unauthorized" was for a link that was posted to another forum which is not allowed on here. that's why that message came up. You did nothing wrong. Let us know what you want to know about Lake Michigan and we will help you out. We have guys that fish kings in algoma all the way up door county. Walleye fisherman that go out to green bay and bay de noc. We even have some knowlege about stream fishing.

ahh...haha i haven't figured this site out yet...anyways my dad and i just started fishing algoma king's and this will be our 2nd year out there. I was just wondering when the earliest people ever fish it?? i know that it picks up in jully, but any other types of fishing this early??

Fishin Fey,

I have recently heard of some good reports coming out of Algoma, but unfortunetaly can't substantiate them. I would imagine you could do well for browns and coho this early out there. Get in touch with Sunrise Cove marina out there, they may be able to shed some light on catches. There will be a few of us FM'ers out in Algoma the week of the 12th of July. Maybe we will see ya out there.

Have heard the browns are being caught out of Algoma along with areas south of there as well... Just spoke to a guy about a half hour ago about this.

Stickbaits, Stickbaits, and more stickbaits for the browns...

thanks everyone...might make a trip here soon, i'll for sure be out there jully 24-27, if anyones out there then, look for the hewes craft!

I will be headed out in two weeks, as i have to move my boat to a different storage place anyway. I know what you mean about not much for reports yet, i just think not that many have been out. I have never been out before july so it would be fun to give it a try. I have been wondering about lead core on the riggers. If anyone here uses it, what is the main line, and what length of core, and what length leader, and do you use the same set-up on all riggers, or just the deep ones? Would appreciate any help with that.

[Quickstrike]

We run what's called a secret weapon rig, which is two colors of lead which we connect to braid and then run about a 30 foot leader off of. This drops your bait down below the ball and adds a little stealth to your presentation.

Shhhh Kent! J/K great little rig. Got a few things up our sleeve for new techniques this year. Can't wait till July, till then I'll be practicing at the mouth of the Brule.
