There was a knock on my door as I was mentally preparing for an afternoon lighthouse cruise out to Manitou Island Lighthouse and Gull Rock. (No charter fishing on this one) “Come on in!” I shouted, over the din of Andy playing on the keyboard. He’s just learning how to sound out songs and was […]
Sightseeing with the Ladies
There was a knock on my door as I was mentally preparing for an afternoon lighthouse cruise out to Manitou Island Lighthouse and Gull Rock. (No charter fishing on this one) “Come on in!” I shouted, over the din of Andy playing on the keyboard. He’s just learning how to sound out songs and was […]
Coho, Perch, Lake Trout and more Lake Trout
Today is a rainy day in the Keweenaw Peninsula, so here I sit, just dreaming of lake trout fishing, instead of trolling out there on Bete Grise, or Lac La Belle. The past month has flown by with a trip to ND, a camping trip with the boys at *“Slod’s” and some fishing in between. […]
Season Start with 4 Species & 17 Lake Trout
Had a couple of nice surprises on Friday while fishing with Dudz. We left Calumet in the morning with the “Helm-n-Buoys” (my 19 foot Harbercraft) in tow since there was much to prepare for the weekend adventure to Stannard Rock. The anticipation was high for both of us, since it was to be the first […]
“Fish-Eye-Views” of Trolling Spoons – Underwater
Well, it’s still snowing here in the Keweenaw and we have over 4 feet of ice on the lakes, but I’m having fun in my basement, testing and researching in order to improve next summers’ fishing on Lake Superior. I’ll be taking a boatload out to Stannard Rock on Memorial weekend and many more charters […]
Ice Fishing Up-date on Keweenaw Bay for Lake Trout
The last few weeks have gone by lickity split. For those not familiar with the term, “lickity split” just means “very quickly” or “fast.” (So what else is new? Time always goes fast when you’re having fun, right?) On the ice, the fishing has been decent, but I’ve had a skunk-day and a few slow […]
Trolling in the Keweenaw Peninsula
Fishing is still great in the Keweenaw Peninsula out of Lac la Belle with some salmon – both coho and kings – and lots of Lake Trout near Bear Bluff and Manitou Island. Recently on the Helm-n-Buoys I took out a couple of volunteer firemen (3 time client Mel and 2 time, Ron). We had […]
Coho Salmon, Lake Trout and Small Mouth Bass Fishing Up-Date
Sunday today, rain and wind will keep me on (wet) land today instead of on the water. Coho Salmon have been active on pink, black and green spoons as well as a spin and glow every now and then. Pulled in a Coho from down deep at 100 feet, but mostly on the surface […]
Self Decorated Lures
Most of you know that I make a lot of my own fishing lures for trolling the Lake Superior waters for lake trout, salmon and steel head as I have published a blog on tying a spin and glow used to fish for lake trout and salmon behind a herring dodger. See this post for […]
Lac La Belle and Lake Superior Fishing Up-date
Last Saturday I participated in a the Longest Day tournament out of Lac La Belle, Copper Harbor, Eagle harbor and Lake Medora. I tried for Walleye for the first hour in the “Belle” with no luck, then out to deep water in Lake Superior trolling for Lake Trout in 150 to 220 feet of water […]
