Fishing the past two weeks has been solid between inland multi species and Lake Michigan. The Coho have scattered a little bit out of Racine but good numbers are still to be caught along with great numbers of Lake Trout. Big congrats to Bill who stuck a 20.1lb Laker on the 15th. Both Big Muskego and Wind Lake have been producing great numbers of Pike and Bass. There has been no shortage of small ones caught but there’s been two in the mid 30’s boated this week alone along

Sunday was a blast out of Bender Park in Oak Creek, the morning charter went 10-15 with a mix of steelhead, brown trout, a 9lb coho and small chinook. I tried as hard as I could to find 1 laker for the slam with no avail. The PM charter went 8-11 (one shaker went back), fishing was a little slower to start as I gave them the option of going for a limit of 4-8lb fish or 1 or 2 big fish. They decided to go for broke and get a few big fish. I set up in 40fow and while settin

This past week I was able to get out a handful of times between days with high winds and small craft advisories. The first day, Sunday I took a run out by myself and ended up with two nice coho's but it didn't take long for the wind to pick up and before I knew it I was trying to pull lines in 4-6' waves. Monday the winds died down and i got out for a quick two hour trip with a good friend and even though we didn't set lines until 0830 we still managed some quality fish inclu

I got out yesterday morning with a buddy and his girlfriend on Wind Lake in search of some bluegills for a fish fry. The morning started off a little slow but it didn't take long to get dialed in. There were many triples and doubles throughout the day. We did some very selective harvesting and ended up with 20 bluegills between 7 and 8.5''. Joe and Taylor had a blast fighting these big bull gills on my 13 Fishing Ambition rods. With the water temp at 71 i figured the blu

Saturday started early, with the smell of two stroke coming from my Mercury 150, my two tournament partners and I started heading out to the staging area for our first Salmon Unlimited Open tournament out of Racine WI. At 0430, we got the green light from tournament control to blast off. I did not expect my 8mi run to go as quick as it did and now my patients was tested to the max, having to wait 10mins to set lines. At 0500, I started setting out our spread consisting of

What a great weekend of trolling on the big pond. Saturday Lenny and I got into a few Chinooks and coho's with one of the Chins being a 14lber. Sunday I decided to run up to Milwaukee to get in on the coho action with Brittany and despite a slow start we ended up sticking 6 of them. Monday I brought a fellow Raven Tackle Pro Staffer out for his first trip of the year and after sticking a beautiful 10lb brown, Jarrett landed a smaller coho. While working out to deeper water an

Today I made it out to a local inland lake with an old timer I fish with in search for bluegills and it was some of the fastest bluegill action I've ever seen. Between the two of us in 5 hours, we caught well over 100 bluegills and kept 38 between 7.5 and 9''. In addition to the bluegills we also landed a handful of bonus bass. I still have openings this month to get on this action. Don't forget this is a great way to get you kids into fishing. To book a trip click on th

I finally got a break in the everything but west wind on Tuesday so I decided to capitalize on it. My tournament partner and I hit Lake Michigan around 0900 and after checking quite a few areas from 40fow to 15fow with nothing to show for it, I decided to make a run a little north and good thing I did! It didn't take long for my Lowrance to light up with bait and I knew it was only a matter of time before one of my flicker shad where going to fire. All of a sudden I head o
