Kewaunee Fishing Reports

We got there thursday afternoon and were setup in time to go fishing by about 4 or so.

Fish are high and scattered. Most people catching lots of steelhead and some kings and lakers. I averaged three keepers each trip out (morning and evening) It was pretty slow but the hookup ration on rainbows can always be a little iffy :-)

Caught fish on spoons and flasher fly's. Lots of fish up high on boards with a few colors of lead.

storms kept us in on sat morning and wind blew us off the lake sunday morning so we were back early yesturday. Brought back our limit but needed to work for them.

Going back out in 2 weeks,

Sutty

Sutty, you headed back this weekend? I was out in Keewaunee the same weekend as you and we had much the same luck 3 here, three there but it sounds like the fish are starting to ramp up and the water temps are in the low sixties right now. I am headed back for a whirlwind tour this weekend to give it a shot once again. The full core and half core rigs off of boards with spoons took most of our fish nothing off the riggers.

Just got back from Kewaunee. Fish were still scattered, but water temp. is definitely up. Caught fish on just about everything, glow spoons, flasher/fly off of dipsies, and j-plug with SWR rig. Biggest fish came off the SWR. Will be back in August.

I too just got back from kewaunee. From thurs. evening to sun morning we kept 5. pretty slow this year from what i've heard on the marine radio. Water temps were 65 to 66.8 degrees on surface. although this morning i did hear someone say the water temp was 50 down deeper, changed over night he could not believe it. Threw back 3-4 shakers.

Better late then never I guess. I am planning a couple weekends out there again this year. I ran up and fished around rock island and the water was warmer up that way and we did well for some larger kings but the weather turned from what was forcast and my little boat made for a bit of a ride back towards the dock. This year if you are hitting it about the same time maybe we can meet and compare notes. Longline leadcore did well in Keewaunee off boards and then up by Rock island we didn't hookup on the leadcore at all. It was all deeper stuff closer to the boat that produced. Can't wait to get back out there again this summer!

Hey fish addict, nice to hear from another salmon chaser. My buddy runs a 34' bayliner and has had it up on the dock in Algoma for the past 1o years untill last year. Sure was nice to fish off that baby compared to my little 17' but we manage to put some fish in the well this past summer over that way. Was a weird year, hopefully it picks up again like a normal year this year. I was just talking to my friend today and making plans for getting out to Lake Michigan. We are going to try something a little different this year and ferry the truck and trailer to Washington island, camp on the island and venture out from there. Should be an interesting trip.

I was just talking with my buddy the other day and making plans for our LM foray for July and it looks like we are going to try something a bit different this year. We are going to take the ferry to Washington island and camp over there for a few days and fish out and around the islands. I am still hoping to make an earlier run over and fish Keewaunee and Algoma which would be the second weekend in July depending on how the fish are hitting. Go get them Steelies!

Crazy, I was just talking with my Brother last week about doing the same thing. 6 years in Algoma and last years fishing, time to try something new.

Cheffrey, we fished both Algoma and Keewaunee last year and had a few good outings and some marginal ones. We did run up to Gils rock and managed to get into some fish a bit more consistently and the beauty was we only had 4 other boats around us all afternoon. I am looking foreward to the adventure, hopefully the weather will cooperate. Never too early to start planning!

That's nice to hear, we're headed out over the Fourth of July, just hope the weather and fish cooperate while we're out there.

What depths were you finding the fish in? I'm in a small boat so the closer to shore the better. wink

WOW, where were you fishing out of?? I fished Kewaunee and got 2, yeah, 2 the whole weekend. Fished thursday night all day friday, and all day Saturday. Did not here of many people catching fish at all, some of the charters said they weren't even going out. (may have been [PoorWordUsage]'n me). I saw many boats with no fish at all, like me 3 of the five times we went out. I have never done that poorly out there for a weekend. The worst I have done in the past is 18, that is only fishing friday and saturday.

I will return in late July to try it again. Should be tough fishing again with the big tournament and all.

Ok, you did fish Kewaunee. That is funny, we fished that area pretty heavily, and didn't catch squat. Do you keep your boat in the marina? which one? Is your boat "fish addictt"?

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
