Nov 2 I was in Milwaukee never fished it before. We fished midday to dark and couldn’t get them to commit to jerkbaits, spoons, and cranks. We didn’t get our hands on any spawn but managed to get a few to eat long shank jigs with flukes twitched in front of them. We saw about 5 zombies and maybe 15 or so kings right up on the rocks. We had to get the fluke in front of them just right and piss them off and they would inhale it. The rocks on McKinley park and southsore.
Awesome video I always like info from wise fishermen in my area and you don’t have to even give away your tips and tricks but you do anyways and you know your stuff so appreciate it 👊🏽 quick question the jigging spoons aren’t meant for fishing from shore I’m assuming? Are could they still work for someone without boat access 😅
Im from manitowoc and tried at the light house pier few weeks ago and no hooks and that was first time fishing for kings on pier and i had no clue what to do
I wonder if our pacific Northwest hover fishing tactics would work there. Use a 1 ounce weight with a long leader and a clump of eggs. Hit bottom crank up a bit to get the eggs off the bottom and feel the fish bite.
Just curious, PNW fishermen doesn't recognize great lakes steelhead as a "real steelhead". What about a great lakes chinook? Is it considered a real king chinook?
@@Skank_Hunt42 those fish in the great lakes originated from the PNW. The Steelhead and salmon genetics present in the great lakes can be traced back to the PNW. Just as the salmon and Steelhead found in Patagonia.
So i was looking to go by the Illinois/Indiana border, because it is closer....maybe this Thursday. You think they are in the harbors in the south now too???@@Railin10

Fyi there's a star shape wheel next to the reel handle that controls the drag on the reel
Thanks for the tip

Great info! How much longer will jigging work? It's 9/6 and I can't make it out until next week! Just got a boat always fished Kings from shore...
Should still be going!
@@Railin10 Thanks man! I am going to try it out
So do the salmon only go to harbors that have tributaries pouring into them? Or any harbor? Thanks!!!
Every harbor in Wisconsin. Also helps to look into stocking info

Is there a boat ramp I can use off of the root? I hate going around the pier when it's rough tia
Please advise!? Lol
