TEAM UNSTABLE MESSAGE BOARD

TeamCobra1 · Posted: Sat Mar 15, 2008 7:47 am Post subject: Lake Michigan Update!

Went out of Portage yesterday mid-morning had to head straight north about 3/4 mile to get out of the ice bergs then headed strait for Gary light. Started off casting by the discharge w/ a little luck 1 coho and 1 brown, then i made a few passes trolling and picked up several undersized coho and 1 good coho, 1 king, and 2 browns w/ a couple of lost fish. So, i headed back to portage the ice had cleared out a bit more and started straight west of the mouth instantly pulled in another nice coho and lost a nice brown after a few passes i headed in w/ the lines still out and picked up 2 more browns from the start of the mouth to the first discharge pipe. I thought it was a fair day but the last 2 years havn't compared to years in the past ive herd stories of fish dieing when they were stocked and MI not stocking many fish anymore but im not really sure Y it hasn't been as good. Anyways, im heading out again this morning before it gets too rough (winds out of the North) ill let u guys know how i do when i get back.

I HAVE KNOWN TEAM COBRA 1 SINCE THEY WERE LITTLE KIDS IN THE BACKYARD SHOOTING THERE DAD IN THE BUTT WITH A B.B. GUN. ONE THING I CAN SAY ABOUT THIS FAMILY, THEY WILL NEVER GO HUNGRY AS LONG AS THEY HAVE FISHING POLES. THIS FAMILY IS TALENTED WHEN IT COMES TO FISHING. WHENEVER YOU PULL INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD THIS DAD AND HIS TWO SONS WOULD ALWAYS BE CLEANING FISH. MY DAD HAS BEEN FORTUNATE TO FISH WITH THIS FAMILY AND THEY ARE ROLE MODELS FOR TEAM UNSTABLE. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK TEAM COBRA 1. WILD BILL.

Ok so i've been out fishin lake michigan everyday i think since friday, well maybe i missed monday. Anyways the coho are starting to come in a bit better i caught 4 casting in about 1hr before i had to go to my meeting on tuesday. Yesterday i cleaned the Cobra up a bit and got it on the water, a buddy and myself landed 8 but we should of had a limit casting. I watched a 6lb brown follow me up w/ my lite action rod and 6lb test and explode on a shad rap 6inches from the boat it was awsome and it gave a really nice fight. Also, the ice was out then moved back in by the time we left.

Went out on Sunday to Michigan City, and I got 10 nice size coho's. I got most of them on squid about 6 to 8 foot under a bobber. There's still some ice out on the lake. Hope the weather stays nice, I'm going to try to get out trolling this weekend.

Yeah i also fished the pier in MC on Sunday. I met my dad out there after work and only had a sweat shirt but i was able to catch a limit of coho and let go a steelhead in an hour. I caught mine on spawn and shrimp under a bobber about 7ft down.

HEY SALMONSLAYER, I SEE YOU ALSO LIKE THE TECHNIQUE OF USING A BOBBER. IF YOU GO TO OUR FISHING SECTION AND LOOK UNDER REVIEW, YOU WILL SEE AN ARTICLE ON CASTAWAY BOBBERS. THESE BOBBERS ARE DURABLE AND CAST A FAR DISTANCE. I HAVE BEEN USING THEM ON THE LAKE WITH SQUID STRIPS AND THEY WORK LIKE A CHAMP. CHECK OUT THE REVIEW. WILD BILL.

The wonderful lady at the booth-Kathy also ran one over and it never smashed or broke- I have seen you drive before -better buy some of the Castaway Bobbers.

Went out today to Michigan City trolling. Got one 11 pound brown trout and 19 coho. They all came on crant baits firetiger jointed number 7. Going to go back out tomarrow hope to do just as good. Must of them came in about 20 feet of water.

Went out Sunday trolling out of Michigan City again got 12 cohoes. I heard it was very slow out on the pier. When i went past the pier at about 7am it was shoulder to shoulder all the way down. The water tep in front of the pier it 37degrees and 39 out on the main lake. Most of the fish came in about 20 feet of water. Firetiger was the best bait again. Think if the weather is nice I am going to go out to gary light this weekend and try for some brown trout.

I wanna learn the ropes out there on the BIG LAKE... How far from the pier do you fish? I'm kinda scared about getting out there,, as I have a small boat,, but I think I would be alright on good days. How much does it cost to launch?

pigeoflier this time of year you have to watch the weather very close. It changes very quick. For cohoes this time of year you can fish right in front of the pier. When any of the fish come in you do not have to go out far at all. If you put in at trail creek they are not charging right now but it is 7 dollers that was last year they might have changed it. Portage was 10 last year have not been out of there this year so I do not know what it is. If you want to save money do not use the ramp at the park in Michigan City they charge 15 dollors they charge for parking and to put in. Just be careful out there I have seen it flat one min and 6 footers the next. Any other que just ask and I will try to answer them.
