Me and my wife will be at Captain K, I have a 21ft Lund Sport Cabin burgundy/gray, REEL CRANKY the name and large FishingMinensota.com decals on side.

Stop by and say hi !!!!!

We were their last weekend and the fishing was not very good. Some warm water was in 67 surface and down to 45 feet the same. Hopefully the wind comes out of the West for a few days. Some of the boats are now starting to fish close to shore and targeting brown trout and salmon staging for the fall.

Good luck

Val, please let us know how you do. I might make one last trip there on Labor Day weekend. Good Luck

Well Val? How was the trip out to Algoma? Any specific presentations that shined? I heard there is a prettygood bite out of Port Washington right now. I have to believe with the recent rains things might get going in close too.

Well, as many told me before leaving it was slow, very slow. We managed to pull in 3 fish in 3 days and lost 2. All the charters were scrambling everywhere to find fish for their customer. I cannot tell any particular presentation that worked, since all the fish I've caught was on different lures. From a copper spoon to watermellon glow, to watermellon clown, an aqua fly.

Wind changed every day from every direction, rain and bad weather didn't help much.

I don't know if I'll make it again this year, but we booked again earlier for next year.

Overall for me was a fun time, I haven't fished much this year and me and my wife enjoy big water fishing, even if not much productive.

Thanks for the update Val. I had heard the weather was a bit rough and the bite was tough from a couple folks. My dad and his buddies are heading out this next weekend to give it a try again. I have family duty so I will stay home this time but am hoping to hit the shallow water bite at the end of the month if I can make it.

talked to my dad last night. he got one out of sturgeon bay. was in 200 fow down 99 feet. he said the same thing, the water has warmed up quite a bit. they have to be moving in soon even if the water is warm.

I spent the Labor day weekend fishing out of Al-slow-goma, as it was a tough bite still.

Thursday afternoon and evening we had success with a good flurry of activity near sundown, biggest pushing a bit over 20 lbs, 8 fish for the 1/2 day out. We were in 68.5 degree water in 105 feet. Thought that Thursday night would lead to better things to come, but it was slow Friday and Saturday. We went way out Friday, about 10 miles, we were graphing lots, just not getting them to go.

Wind picked up and by Sunday we had 6 foot swells. Water temp changed drastically, with some temps in the upper 50 in close over 30 to 40 feet deep, and down to 64 out deeper. Still, couldn't get much going Sunday. Mainly the downriggers, dipseys popped a few fish, but far fewer than in July.

We saw a couple really nice fish caught off the breaker wall in the harbor on Sunday, so maybe things are starting to go and some are moving in closer.

Good luck to anyone headed up.
