Summer Salmon Fishing in the Waters of Green Bay
Author: John Neilio
http://profishingblog.com/index.php
Looking for a place to catch monster fish? King Salmon in the 20lb. class are easily accessible in Green Bay waters. These "screamers" as they are commonly called by locals can take out hundreds of feet of line on their initial hit. You can throw in some incidental brown and rainbow trout for added fun.
Spool your reels with as much line as they can hold. Pros and charter boat captains are going to Power Pro line. The 30lb test has an equivalent of 8lb line diameter so you can get 1000 feet or more on a typical line counter reel.
Green Bay, surrounded by Northeastern Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, has numerous ports with lots of boat launch facilities for access to this exciting summer fishery.
Mid June into July Green Island, Chambers Island, Washington Island, the Whales Back Shoal and many places in between hold great concentrations of these kings. Fish can also be found along the deep water shorelines surrounding this body of water. In late August and September you can also find these fish moving toward and staging near their spawning rivers along the western shore of the bay.
In midsummer look for thermal cline, water temps in the mid to upper 50 degrees are good. If you have a temperature gauge or temperature and trolling speed at the cannon ball it can be a great help. If you don't have temperature just watch your fish finder. Look for the big hooks or blobs of bait fish with hooks around them. Put your tackle into or just above these concentrations.
There is an endless supply of lures to use for this type of fishing. Typically Pro King, Diamond King, or Moonshine spoons in bright colors with silver backs or diamond reflective patterns are good. E-chip Dodger or Spin Doctor and Howie Fly are also used with many different manufactures in many styles and colors. Trolling speeds are across the board for this type of fishing with GPS speeds of 1.7 to 3 mph with 2 mph being most common.
All methods of deep water trolling can be employed such as downriggers and Dipsey Divers. Dipseys can be used off of wire lines or PowerPro rods. Another method, which is relatively new, is the use of lead core and copper lines to get your lures down. Lead core is color coded 10 yards per color and each color drops your lure about 5 feet down. Three colors will get you about 15 feet deep, five colors about 25 feet down and so on. Copper is typically run in 100, 200 or 300 feet per reel. Both these lines are generally backed with PowerPro and tipped with floral carbon leaders. One hundred feet of copper drops your lure about 20 feet, 200 about 40 feet and 300 feet of copper will get you down about 60 feet. If you are new to using copper lines, get advice from a dealer or someone who has used it. It is not easy to deal with.
For information on fishing in a particular location, check out the area sport shops, talk to local fishermen, listen to the marine radio or search the internet for local fishing reports. You can find a lot of info on the internet at http://profishingblog.com/fishing-license/
