Michigan Salmon Fishing
from: Kyle BesserLake Michigan salmon fishing is unique from salmon fishing on many other lakes. The amazingly huge bodies of water that are the Great Lakes can be treacherous to fish. The Great Lakes salmon fishing is also among some of the best places to find trophy sized fish. Great Lakes salmon fishing is also just a great place to spend a day doing something that you love.
Lake Michigan salmon fishing opportunities abound in the waters of the 6th largest lake in the world. Chinook and coho are the salmon varieties in the lake, and Steelhead, Rainbow trout, Brown trout and Lake trout are also present in the lake.
Since the fishing regulations vary on the number of fish and salmon that can be caught, it is important to know which state waters you are fishing in. For Michigan the limits for Lake Michigan salmon fishing are found on the Michigan Department of Natural Resources website, as with the states of Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin for their limits on Great Lakes salmon fishing.
A discussion on Lake Michigan salmon fishing wouldn't be complete without talking about specific tips for fishing on the Michigan side of the Great Lakes. Online maps, fishing books and guides are also great resources for providing practical and simple Michigan salmon fishing tips and strategies.
Following are a few Lake Michigan salmon fishing tips and techniques recommended by professional anglers and guides that can really enhance your Lake Michigan salmon fishing experience.
1. Always use the sharpest possible hook. While this may seem obvious, many fishermen don't pay attention to the condition of the hook. With the larger Michigan salmon fishing varieties, the difference between a sharp and a dull hook is often the number of fish in the boat at the end of the day. To sharpen a hook use either a small, under 4 1/2 inch for size 4 and under hooks, or a large, 5 1/2 inch for number 5 and up hooks hook file. Simply use the abrasive surface of the file to sharpen the hook barbs and points. Always move the file from the thickest station of the point or barb towards the thinnest in an even motion. Sharpening hooks before and after each use will keep your tackle box in excellent condition.
2. Use colorful lures. Fish that feed in the daytime, such as the salmon varieties, are more sensitive to the various colors in the water and are more likely to bite on lures or bait that is colorful and eye catching to the salmon. Lake Michigan salmon fishing lure colors include blues, greens, oranges, yellows and reds for dawn and daylight fishing. Darker, more contrasting colors such as silvers, browns, natural bait colors should be used as the sunlight decreases and the water becomes darker. Baits and scents will attract salmon to the area of the lure, but it is largely the color of the lure that will cause the salmon to actually bite at the lure.
3. During the spawn, use salmon or trout loose eggs or skein. Skein are natural pouches or sections of eggs that are ideal for attracting salmon in the spawning season. Many of the Michigan salmon fishing varieties will simply ignore all other lures and bait during the spawn, but will very actively bite and hit on naturally occurring bait such as fishing salmon eggs.
