King Salmon fishing remains good here in August on northern Lake Michigan many 20 to 30 lbs catches. Salmon flys behind Attractors along with meat rigs behind attractors glo spoons working very early morning in the low light. Typically Salmon hang out in the Thermalcline upper 40° to 50° temps and prefer low light conditions.

Fishing has been good outta st joe, been having a nice mix of lake trout and king salmon with our biggest topping the scales at 22.8. Most fish are being caught on dreamweaver spins drs with either spin n glow or flies behind them on divers and riggers on the bottom or deep Morgan's copper pulled by church tackel tx 44 planner boards in 120-160 foot of water. Best action coming in the morning or as the sunsets.

    Trip: Sheboygan Lake Michigan Fishing

  • ★★★★★
    Brian was a fantastic fishing guide. It was me and my two young boys and he did a great job of helping them out and moving around to find fish. Highlight was a 26 inch pike that my ten year old reeled in. Highly recommend and would use him again when in the area.
