Better have a strong rotorary cuff!


The kings are really starting to tear up my guys! Spoons from Dream Weaver super-slims to magnums down 40-65 are working best, but don't forget your lead-core!
Water depth from 70-130 depending on conditions (clouds).

Huge Kings!

Joline and Crew caught all they could handle today. Most of the action was outside of 70 feet of water, but focus on 90-120 for most of the action. Spoons down 40-64 were working best.

King frenzy!

In the morning the salmon are shallow(65-72 feet), but as the sun comes up they move out. Spoons of the dream weaver super slim are working best today, but that changes every day!

Too Big to Hold up!!!

During the day the fish were mostly out 67 feet and beyond, down 40-70 feet. As the sun comes up they will go out deeper to 106 or so, but do not stay if the action slows down because they will travel into 40-45 feet of water during the night to feed, even though the water is warm! They have to eat! Spoons down 40 feet with orange are working best when the sun is out, but purple and dark colors work with low light conditions

Middle of the day bite!

Most of our action was 80-100 feet of water down 40-70 feet with spoons. Orange was hot when the sun was out. Magnum spoons are starting to work well!

Crazy Weather year!

The salmon are moving because the wind shifted, but 65-75 feet is a good starting place. Move around up to 100 and back to 60 feet until a school is found and then work it!

Happy Aniversary and Birth Day!

We dodged the Mac race while catching fish in 90-105 feet of water. Cloudy conditions made the fishing fantastic! Spoons were working best. but "monkey puke" was producing down 40 and the leads were on fire with the same lures. Fish are in up to 60 feet of water, but the better action is outside of 75 feet.

20 pound King!

The afternoon was different then the morning. We started out deep(80-100 feet) but as the sun set the fish moved in, the steelheads and browns were in 35-45 feet of water, which resulted in a Grand Slam! All 5 species were taken!

Great sunrise and awesome fishing!

The fish were out in 80-100 feet in the morning, down 45 to 60 on the riggers. Spoons were doing best, especially the magnum ones!

Big Fish!

The bait is in 30-45 feet of water, but during the day the fish were out in55-65 feet of water. Spoons are doing well, but spin doctors on dipsy divers is turning on! Tomorrow the salmon will be in 30-45 feet because of the upwelling of cold water to the shore. Colder water is closer to the shore!

My backyard...

What a storm! Just got in from the lake. The Kings are loaded in 65-75 feet of water! Spoons are working best down 50-65 feet. Dark day, dark spoon: purple...

The Guys from Henry's Sports!

We caught most of our fish on the lead core in 70 -75 feet of water. The purple spoons were working best because of the clouds. Down 45 to 60 worked best. The storm was just a bonus!

Even little guys can pull in a hog!


This King was out in 100 feet of water down 50 feet. He hit a big silver dodger with a white fly. The fish were down 40-55 mostly as far as action goes. Orange crush spoons during sunny days is always a winner!

Great Catch!

She fought this 17 pounder on a lead core with 12 colors out with an Orange Crush spoon. She fought it for 20 minutes! In the am they were in 65-75 feet of water, but in the afternoon they moved out to 90-100 feet. Down 50-60 with spoons worked best.

Four species again, but with a Brown Trout...

The Waukegon armada from the tournament finally left our waters. The boat that won the contest caught his fish due East of Montrose Harbor! Today the fish started shallow(42-45 feet) of water, but the best results came as yesterday in70 feet. 50 feet down with spoons worked best. The lead lines also were productive (10 core).
