Harbor Beach fishing report 7/25/2018

The fish are a little scattered right now with the winds and storms that have went through. Best place to start for Lake Trout will be in 80′ of water straight out and North of the harbor. Try some dodgers with spin and glows close to the bottom and clean spoons working from top to bottom. Work your way out to deeper water until you find where they are setting. Put out some bright colored spoons off the Offshore boards using 3, 5, 7, and 10 colored lead lines for the Steelhead.

Try for Walleye in a little closer to shore using small spoons, hot and tots and crawler harnesses working top to bottom.

Bass continue to be taken in close to shore casting small spoons and body baits.

Keep those lines tight,

Harbor Beach Fishing Report 07/06/2018

The fishing is a little tough right now. Make sure you check your lures often right now as there is green vegetation in the water right now and it is accumulating on the lures right now. This will send the fish the other way from your lures so try to keep this clear of them.

Try for Lake Trout straight out and North of the harbor in 100 to 180 foot of water. Dodgers with spin and glows and clean spoons off the downriggers close to the bottom are working.

A few Steelhead and Salmon are being taken in the same areas using bright colored spoons off the Offshore boards, using some 2,3,5,7,and 10 colored lead lines.

A few Walleye are being taken North of the harbor trolling the shallow water with small spoons, hot and tots, and crawler harnesses.

Bass continue to be taken casting small spoons and body baits in close to shore.

Sounds like the wind on Friday will be making the lake a little rough so remember to use caution, the fish will still be there the next day.
