Lake Michigan fisheries team report 7.31.09
« on: July 31, 2009, 10:32:05 AM »
Sheboygan County -
 In Sheboygan anglers on the ends of the north and south piers have been catching decent numbers of rainbows and chinooks. Spoons and alewives have both produced fish. Sheboygan trollers have been catching a mixed bag of chinooks, coho, rainbows, and some lake trout and browns, but fishing has been slow overall. Most fish have been taken from 20 to 50 feet down in 60 to 100 feet of water on a variety of spoons and J-plugs.

Ozaukee County -
Shore anglers in Port Washington have been catching perch near the power plant and off the pier on jigs. Pier anglers have also been catching a few chinooks, coho, rainbows, and browns on alewives and spoons. Trollers out of Port have reported chinooks, coho, and rainbows taken 20 to 40 feet down in 40 to 100 feet of water, with spoons and J-plugs producing the most fish.

Milwaukee County -
 In Milwaukee perch fishing from shore has been slow, but boaters near the Oak Creek Power Plant and at the boils continue to catch perch on minnows. Trolling out of Milwaukee continues to be relatively slow, although most chinooks have been taken in 40 to 60 feet of water.

Racine County -
 Shore fishing in Racine has been spotty for perch anglers. The north pier has been hit or miss, but the rocks near the DeKoven Center have produced a bit more consistently. Boaters have been able to find some perch on minnows or smaller jigs along the end of the rock breakwall south of the harbor. Trollers out of Racine have been finding coho, rainbows, and big chinooks off Wind Point in 40 to 60 feet of water. Glow-in-the-dark, purple, or orange spoons as well as white flashers with blue or white flies have been producing.

Kenosha County -
In Kenosha shore fishing has been slow, but a few browns have been caught in the harbor on spoons and white tube jigs. Perch fishing has been slow for both boaters and shore anglers, although a few perch have been taken off the end of the south pier on jigs and minnows. Kenosha trollers have been catching a few chinooks, coho, rainbows in 50 to 80 feet of water.
