So it took a little bit but I’m happy to say I now have a Lake Michigan harbor salmon under my belt. Casting cranks with Wizzo the salmon wizard and Neal, we went 3-4 in just a few short hours. Kenosha harbor was jam packed with fish and there was a lot caught this weekend. We smacked them in the middle of the day throwing cranks and fire tiger was a great color choice. Reefrunners and deep diving thundersticks all took fish.

There’s a whole lot more to learn about harbor salmon but that might have to be put on hold for now. This rain the last few days just seems to keep coming and there’s some solid evidence that fish are moving up into the rivers. With a little luck, I could be holding my fly rod knee deep in a river this weekend. Time to get started on some flies. Such a procrastinator….
Nice Fish. Do the salmon come into the bays to chase bait?
ReplyDeleteWell done, I wish I could head up to the Salmon River for the run.
ReplyDeleteThanks guys!
ReplyDeleteSavage, they come into the harbors to wait for enough river flow to run up the rivers and spawn. Its a death sentence for the 4 year old spawners and they return to where they were stocked.
Congrats on the salmon! I still haven't made it out that way yet, I'll get the time to go sometime soon though!
ReplyDeleteThis should be a good weekend for fishing. Blake, you need to make some plans to get down here before the salmon get moldy.

ReplyDeleteOne insane catch, reminds me of when I use to fish with the casting reel and rod using crank baits---but I never landed anything that big---congrats. thanks for sharing
Nice fish Blake! You know heavy metal works really well on those guys in the harbors too. Start tying...now!
ReplyDeleteHi Blake, just wanting to congratulate you on a great fish. Those Salmon appear to be the "reel" deal. Thanks for sharing!
