Keith with a mix of Salmon and Trout caught in May while Milwaukee Charter Fishing aboard Silver King Charters

                Keith shows off a nice catch of May Trout and Salmon caught aboard Silver King Charters. We usually target Coho Salmon in May but this year the weather has been unseasonably cold. Milwaukee Charter Fishing is all about Coho's from early May through the first couple weeks of June.

                Coho Salmon average 2-6lbs this time of year and are fun to fight. The action can be very quick, with fish coming one after another. The Coho Salmon are very lean fish and excellent tasting. I like to put these fish in a skillet and pan fry them or wrap in tin foil and cook them on the grill. This is my personel favorite fish to eat out of Lake Michigan.

               Every year the Coho Salmon migrate from the Southern part of Lake Michigan. Indiana and Illinois get the early action in March. As the fish move up the East and West shoreline the fishing turns on in ports like Winthrop, Kenosha and Racine. Temperature and bait is key to the Coho Salmon movement.

              This season has been unsually cold and has hampered the Coho Salmon arrival off the shores of Milwaukee. There are Coho's around, even though the main schools are not here yet. We have been successful at finding them and there are 3 in this picture.

              As the surface temperature rises the Coho bite becomes more aggersive until it reaches its peak and the water becomes to warm. THis is the transistion stage on Lake Michigan and we begin to tartget Chinook Salmon. From year to year it varys when this will occur but usually the last two weeks in May and the first to weeks in June are excellect times Charter Fishing Milwaukee aboard Silver King Charters.

             If the Coho Salmon bite is slow we will target other fish. Lake Trout and Chinook Salmon will be found in the same depths but deeper down in the water column. Charter Fishing Milwaukee is all about the Coho Salmon during the early part of the season and is well worth the trip. Call Silver King Charters to book a trip early this season and come back for another later in the summer for Chinook Salmon. We guarantee fish all season long or your trip is free.
