DNR's Weekly UP Fishing Report | Sports & Recreation | UP ...

No reports were provided for the western UP this week.

Keweenaw Bay: ?Has good coho fishing along the east shoreline, off the mouth of the Falls River, the L?Anse Township Park and between Sand Point and Carla?s.? Most are trolling 35 to 55 feet down in 40 to 70 feet.? The Falls River is low and clear so no fish were seen.? Lake trout and coho were caught in Traverse Bay when trolling off Hermits Cove, Gay Point and Big Louie?s Point when trolling a foot or two off the bottom in waters 70 to 160 feet deep.

Chocolay River:? Reported good catches of coho salmon. ?

Marquette: ?A few boats were out fishing for salmon and lake trout but windy conditions prevented boats from heading out several miles to fish.? Fish were stacked up near the end of the Lower Harbor breakwall.?

Carp River:? Anglers were starting to catch a few salmon with Cleo?s, stick baits or crawlers.?

Menominee:? Walleye fishing was good in 25 to 30 feet of water both north and south of the Cedar River.? Anglers are using crawler harnesses then switching to Reef Runners or Thundersticks after dark.? Walleye were caught around Green Island and off the mouth of the Menominee River in 15 to 30 feet of water.? Try large stick baits.?

Menominee River: ?Boat anglers caught walleye but most of the fish were sub-legal.? They are trolling crawler harnesses or casting crank baits.? Rock bass, smallmouth bass and freshwater drum were also caught.? Shore anglers fishing near the Hattie Street Dam caught panfish on crawlers, wax worms or minnows.?

Cedar River:? A few smallmouth bass were caught on crawlers. ??

Little Bay De Noc: ?Walleye anglers were fishing around the mouth of the Escanaba River and out to the ?Black Bottom? when trolling or drifting crawler harnesses in 18 to 30 feet of water.? Very few fish were caught off the Kipling Flats, the Narrows and off the Terrace Bay Inn.? Perch fishing was fair to good in 10 to 23 feet of water off Kipling.? Both the Ford and the Day?s River had low water levels and few fish.?

Big Bay De Noc:? Has fair to good smallmouth bass action around Garden Bluff when casting or drifting crawlers, crank baits or plastics in waters 10 to 38 feet deep.? The Nahma Boat Launch is now closed for dredging.? The Garden Launch would be best for those looking to head out to the areas where most of the fishing takes place this time of year.?

Munising: ?Boat anglers are now targeting coho but catch rates were slow.? No lake trout were reported this week.? Surface water temperatures were in the low to mid 60?s but could drop quickly with the cold front.? Pier angling activity continues to increase slowly as catch rates for coho and splake are improving slowly.? Some are still-fishing with spawn bags while others are casting spoons or spinners.?

Grand Marais: ?Few anglers were out and those trolling in the bay only had a few strikes.? Those surfcasting had no luck.?

St. Mary?s River:? Water levels are at an all-time low as the Great Lakes have receded.? Some are having trouble launching their boats.? A good number of pink salmon were in the river.? For walleye, the best reports are coming from Raber Bay off Antelope Point in 12 to 14 feet of water.? Use crawler harnesses with purple and red beads and bottom bouncers along the weed beds.? Also try crank baits as we move further into fall as the walleye appetite changes as water temperatures drop. ??

Detour:? Pink salmon are still being caught at the lighthouse when trolling orange and gold spoons 35 to 50 feet down in 80 feet of water.? Lake trout are hitting just off the bottom in 70 to 90 feet of water.? Chartreuse and white spoons were the ticket.? A couple chinook were caught north of the ferry boat lane that runs to Drummond Island.? Try raspberry and black spoons or J-plugs.?

Cedarville and Hessel:? Perch fishing has picked up along the east end of Hessel Bay, Musky Bay, Snows Channel and the Middle Entrance.? Perch were also caught along the east end of Cedarville Bay in 6 to 8 feet of water.? Pike and smallmouth bass have been caught in good numbers.?

Carp River:? Has a high number of pink salmon along with some chinook at the mouth.? Some salmon have moved upstream.? Try little Cleo?s, spoons or spawn.?

St. Ignace: ?Salmon are still present in 50 to 70 feet of water.
