We’re seeing some Coho Salmon among the Lake Trout and Small Mouth Bass lately, although with the low pressure we saw on Saturday, fishing was a little slow with Dr. Mike. That day we caught a couple Coho, but couldn’t catch a trout to save my life! (well, maybe we could have given more time). […]
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 […]
Fishing and cruising Lake Superior in the Keweenaw
It’s been quite a while since I wrote on this fishing blog because I have been out on the water so much. That’s what I’d rather be doing anyway… (typing on this contraption isn’t my most favorite past-time). Charters have been so busy that I haven’t even had time to go pleasure fishing on an […]
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 […]
Lake Superior Trolling, Lac La Belle Fishing for Bass, Pike and Walleye
It’s been a long time since posting, so I’ll try t0 give an up-date on lake trout, salmon, walleye, crappie,perch, pike and smallmouth bass fishing in the last few weeks. Memorial weekend was spent at Bond Falls with my wife, kids and a nephew. The bass fishing there was about as good as it gets […]
Lac La Belle for Bass & Lake Superioer Fishing
This season started off slow with the late melt, in fact I have yet to launch my Fishin’ Mission… it’s all ready after spending the whole day there yesterday cleaning and making some minor repairs. About a week ago Ken and I fished at South Entry, then neighbor Kurt and I went again. I have […]
Another New Fishing Device – Stern Planer
The TX-007 Stern Planer, made by Church Tackle is one of the latest additions to my fishing arsenal. See my video here: Brian’s Video of the Stern Planer on YouTube The reason I bought them is to enable me to fish a specific depth from the surface down to about 20 feet – far behind […]
Torpedo Diver Weights for Trolling
I’m always striving to increase our take of Lake Trout, Steel Head and Coho salmon. (and Small Mouth Bass and Pike too) At the fishing show in Grand Rapids over the weekend, I spent 2 days wandering the floor and attending seminars and workshops to pick up new gear and fishing tips. I did a […]
Fishing Show (again) and Why YOU should GO!
What can you learn at the Ultimate Sport Show in Grand Rapids this coming weekend? You might ask, what if I just like to fish for walleye? Or small mouth bass? Or lake trout? Or salmon? Or what if I just like to fly-fish? You can learn quite a lot, actually… even the most seasoned […]
FRESHLY Cooked Fish
Have you ever caught lake trout or salmon on a charter and took the fish home, or back to your hotel and wished you had a way to cook and eat it when it’s still fresh? After all, that’s the best time to consume any fish. Or have you tried to cook your small-mouth bass […]
