    dabowman the 2nd from the right looks like a Coho... Where do you go out of? Algoma? I fish out of Bailey's Harbor every year. Always the 2nd week in July. We get a lot of fish. This year will be a little shorter trip. 5 days of fishing. Can't wait!

    Anywhere on the shore is good at different times of the year. We have had great success in late April on the Illinois/Wisconsin border at Winthrop Harbor for Coho. The salmon all seem to work their way up the coast of the lake to the north where most of the spawning takes place. We hit the Kings hard in July out in 35 to 120 FOW usually fishing the bottom half of the depth. We do something different... we go very slow. Most boats will be in the 2.5 - 3.5 MPH range. We go 1.2 to 2. This seems to make the big fish bite with a slower lure action. The colors seem to change every year, but there are constants that always produce. For us it is an older style j-plug lure in "green ladderback" before and after light. Otherwise in the daylight, blue, green, purple and orange were the top producers. I will add some pictures tomorrow when I am at work.

    dcso, nice fish. A long way to go from here for salmon or trout. S-o-o ready for these fronts (every day, or every other...w/rain) to stop. No way to get thru the pasture and the mud to get to the lake I fish...less I take one of the BIG tractors...and thats a real pain. Can't wait to throw up some bass picks...[;)]

    Get out there! It does not cost much to rig an average boat to fish out there. We fish from a 17' Lund ProSport with a 90hp Honda. Yes, we have lots of top end stuff on it, but t did not start that way. It took my father-in-law retiring to get this nice rig, but there were plenty of good fishing trips before it.
    Manual downriggers, rods, line counter reels, and some spoons, plugs, and flasher/fly combos and you are set. You can even do without the downriggers if you run a 1 lb ball rig... just troll it.

    Nope not "the glove". It is one that my father-in-law brought back from his trip to Alaska. He goes almost every year for crab and halibut and says these gloves save the trip. We keep a set on the boat.

    MN Hunter,

    Here's a 25 pound laker I caught last year around Hunter Bay, Saskatchewan.

    This year, my friends and I are going to fish Sandy Lakes/Churchill River and will be staying at this camp http://www.madcat.medstead.sk.ca/wilderness

    Thanks. Cought it just outside Superior Entry on Lk. Superior. I would have released it, but didn't have a camera on the boat that day. The lakers are ok, but after getting hooked on the salmon they become known as "greasers". My secret to cooking the "greasers" is to grill or smoke them with the skin off. It lets out most of the oils that trout have too much of.

    This is my largest catch to date:

    Good one dcso. They're good eating fish. I'd like do some deep sea fishing someday ... hopefully soon. Where were you fishing?

    These were from the East Cape Village north of Cabo San Lucas Mexico on the Sea of Cortez side. It was more expensive than the Cabo area, but MUCH better fishing. I think it was about $400/ day for the boat. The rooms were nice and it was a very peaceful place. I would defiantly like to go back someday.

    FEENIX, im not sure if you ever fished the churchhill, but its incredible. we go every year. we fly into saskatoon, then drive to la ronge, where we take a 30-45min float plane ride, below is the "average"..catch about 10/day..this size. the biggest lake trout ive caught was like 15lbs..i LOVE catching them, but i dont have the patience. in 11yrs of going up there, only once have they been shallow enough to cast for...damn good eating.
