Some friends and I are planning a trip to Lake Huron, near Cheboygan, 10 miles south of the Mackinac Bridge, this July and want to try jigging for lake trout or salmon. Everyone is saying that in July, those fish are down in deep cold water, maybe 100-200 feet. I saw that you were fishing in August and down 30 feet. Do you have any tips for how you found those fish initially? Just drive around slowly near drop-offs and try to locate the groups of fish with your fish finder, then start jigging? Were you looking for the bait fish or larger fish? Not sure about soft plastic bait, vertical minnows, spoons, i saw that you said you were using 1oz weights with your soft plastics? Thanks

@CNCoutdoors Жыл бұрын

On the west shore of Lake Michigan in June through august if you get a lot of consistent strong west winds it will push the warm water out and bring cold water in. This brings the fish in shallow and makes it easier to jig them. It doesn’t happen every year and when it does you have to have it perfectly timed. Once you find the right water temp i was just trying to locate bait and casting around it. Casting spoons and darter head jigs with plastic work well. If you can find water temps around 50-52 you should be in the chips.

I usually cast it out and count how long it takes to get to bottom. That way on the next casts you have a rough estimate on where your bait is in the water column. Typically i like to keep my bait half way or higher in the water column

@CNCoutdoors 11 ай бұрын

Usually on the west side of Lake Michigan we just keep updated on the weather. We look for a couple days/ week of consistent west winds. June through august, west winds will push the warm water out and bring the cold water in which brings the salmon in close to shore. Typically I’ve always done good with water temps around 52 degrees. For baits i like to use 1oz darter head jigs with a 5” jerk minnow or fluke style bait. Jigging spoons like Cleo’s, shiver spoons, and binks can also be good. If you can find the bait with the right water temp there will usually be fish around, just have to use your electrics and do a lot of casting to figure it out. Hope this helps!!
