Salmon size on the rise!!

Even though the quantity of fish in an average cooler in previous years is down, the size of the fish is on the up swing. There has been a good number of king salmon that are tipping the scales over 20lbs with the abundance of baitfish in the area. This big boy weighed 24lbs.
The 2009 year of water conditions have been awesome, allowing us to fish shallow water and give you the clients a longer fishing trip. Pictured here is a catch of 5 mature chinook salmon and a 16lb brown trout.
The baitfish are plentiful but are small in size. Best baits for these fish have been standard size spoons and jplugs in the number 3 size.
These two guys had some first time luck in salmon fishing. There is still some mixed bags coming in but as always this time of the year the king salmon are the main catch.
Heavy coolers!! Wolf Pack is now starting to get their plan ready to fish Sheboygan's tournament the second weekend of August known as the Coho Derby! Good luck Guys.
As the west winds continue and the month of August approaches, fishing will only get better. There is still openings for these reel screaming salmon so don't miss out!
Lake Michigan fishing is a great family bonding event. Here is a group of three generations that had a blast catching some fish! Now there is a whole dinner of fish to go along with the fish stories to be told to the rest of the family!
We all love summer but its time to start planning your fall adventures. Duck and goose hunting??? Muskie fishing?? Fall run salmon?? With Wolf Pack the outdoor opportunities are endless, so check out what interests you or just try something new!

Mixed Bags Making Big Smiles

Nothing like getting a cooler full with multiple species! There has been many close calls for the Lake Michigan Grand Slam but has yet to be hit out of the park. The catch below shows a mixed catch of kings, rainbows, and one coho salmon!
Fish On!!! With the cooler water temperatures still in the area, the fish have been putting up quite a fight.
Here is a client with a nice sized lake trout! Lakers are the only native fish of Lake Michigan and they sure are a pretty fish.
Who's king?? The king salmon are filling the coolers out of the port of sheboygan! Many of thefish are in the mid teens range in pounds and make the spool sing. It's like having a rock concert in the palm of your hands/
Another beautiful morning on the shores on Lake Michigan! Come get a view all for yourself!
Little guys and big guys, they all need to eat! The fish have been in a variety of sizes and species which always keeps you guessing what your catching until it gets Frabilized!!
