In Port Washington , there is usually moderate effort from the ramp and light effort from shore. The action has been mixed from the ramp and pier. In Sheboygan
Reports based on personal observations and angler reports from the past three years. Please comment or share information.
Ramp: Recently, the action has continued to slow and it appears we’re in a mid summer lull. The catch has been mostly Chinook but Coho and rainbow trout were occasionally taken by anglers fishing between the thermocline and surface. Most fish were getting caught in 50 to 150 feet of water. Successful set-ups included: downriggers (30-70 feet down, dipsy divers (approximately 70-100 feet back) and weapons (approximately 70-100 feet back). All landings reported came on flasher and fly combinations. Lots of fished were marked and west winds provided cold water but the fish still weren’t cooperating. The fishing may be slow but some diligent anglers have been rewarded with 20 pound Chinook. The Lions Club 2011 fishing derby is this weekend.
Over the past few years, there has typically been moderate effort and the action has been mixed, some slow days and some good days. Catches consisted of Chinook, Coho, rainbow trout and brown trout. Most fish were caught in 40 to 170 feet of water, with some as far out as 250 feet of water, and 20 to 70 feet down. Fish were caught with spoons, flasher/dodger flies and j-plugs on downriggers, weapons, dipsy divers and leadcore. Conditions: Air temperature was in the low to high 70’s, skies were mostly sunny, there were light winds in a variety of direction and water surface temperature was in the high 50’s to low 70’s.
Pier: Over the past few years, there has typically been light effort and either good action or no action at all. Chinook, Coho and a small rainbow trout have been caught, mainly on alewives but occasionally on spoons. Conditions: Water temperature was in the high 50’s, water color was blue green with moderate to good clarity, the lake was choppy, air temperature was in the low to high 70’s, skies were mostly sunny to overcast with occasional heavy rain, there were light to moderate winds in a variety of directions.
Power plant: There is typically light effort in the area with little action. Rainbow trout have been caught on spawn sacks. Conditions: Water color was blue green with moderate clarity, air temperature was in the high 70’s, skies were overcast with occasional heavy rain and there were moderate wind to the north and east.
Ramp: The action over the past week has been slow despite reports of good water conditions; large amounts of bait fish are still being marked and could explain the lock jaw. Chinook made up most of the action but Coho and rainbow trout were also caught. Fish were caught in 65 to 130 feet of water and scattered throughout the water column. Dodger/flasher flies were most successful but spoons also worked. Most set-ups worked (downriggers, dipsy divers, leadcore, copper and planar boards). Reports have been erratic with no real patterns emerging so experiment with presentations and set-ups to see what is working.
Over the past few years, there has typically been moderate effort and the action has typically been slow. Chinook, Coho and rainbow trout have been caught. Most fish were caught in 40 to 150 feet of water and 30 to 90 feet down with spoons, flies and j-plugs on downriggers and dipsy divers. Conditions: Air temperature was in the high 60’s to high 70’s, skies were clear to overcast, there were light to moderate winds to the north and east and water surface temperatures were in the low 50’s to high 60’s.
Pier: Over the past few years, there has typically been light to moderate effort and the action is usually slow but last year the action was good. Chinook, Coho, rainbow trout and brown trout have been caught off the lake side of both piers, mostly on alewives but also on spoons, throughout the day but landings were most frequent in the morning. Brown trout and a northern pike were caught off the harbor side of the south pier on spoons. Conditions: Water temperatures on the lakeside were in the high 50’s to low 60’s, water color was blue green with moderate to good clarity; Water temperatures in the harbor were the low 70’s; air temperature was in the high 60’s to high 70’s, skies were clear to overcast, there were light to moderate winds to the north and east.
Shore: There is usually little to no effort and no action.
Edgewater power plant: There is usually no effort.
