entirely within the boundaries of the United States. Lake Michigan is
approximately 307 miles long and has a maximum width of 118 miles. Its
surface area is 22,400 square miles (14,336,000 acres). Illinois has
jurisdiction over 976,640 acres (7%) of the Lake and only 63 miles (43%) of
the total shoreline.

directions and maps of the lakes, and types and pictures of the available

Lake Michigan Salmon Fishing
Milwaukee Fishing Lake Michigan Salmon Reports 4/28/2008
By Capt. Jim Hirt
Heavy rain on Friday turned the water chocolate brown and shut
down the harbor Brown trout fishing on Saturday and Sunday. We
marked fish but they would not bite inside the harbor. We had
our best action working 30 to 40 feet of water outside the break
wall between the main gap to the north gap. We also fished the
temp breaks in front of the harbor gaps and marked fish at all
depths with good success. Church Mini planer boards and Vulcan
regular size OL Sherbet spoons with a 1/4-ounce bead chain
sinker running 8 feet ahead of the lure produced very well for
Brown Trout. Downriggers with magnum spoons worked great for us
running 60 feet behind the balls 8-28 feet down. The Reaper
Magnum Peacock and Magnum Fish n Chip were the big guns for Lake
Trout. Our best boat speed was 2.2 mph. We ran Slide Divers they
took their share of fish with 30 to 40 feet of line out set to
number two. We did pick up three 13-pound Chinook on magnum
spoons as well. The good news is a class of four inch Alewives
is now showing up in the stomachs of the fish. With the Alewives
coming in we should see increased action on the Chinook soon.
The only place you will find Reaper and Vulcan spoons is on the
