Fishing continues to be good throughout Milwaukee as we role into September. Fish are being taken from the harbor on out with the most consistent action from 70 to 110 FOW. Riggers, dispys, leadcore and copper all have been yielding fish with riggers being the most consistent producers. The best combinations as of late have been the white/glow hot chip w/ Rapture Bloody Nose and the Green/Glow hot chip w/ Rapture Wild Fern off the riggers 45 to 65 down 20 to 40 behind the ball. The Green/Glow pro chip w/ the Rapture Wild Fern or Hypnotist behind a clear dispy out 125 to 150, 3-setting has been good when the divers go, but they have been inconsistent the last week for me. The top baits on the lead cores and coppers have been the bloody nose super glow and blue angel stinger for spoons or the silver and cracked ice glow Silver Horde Plugs.
Many fish have entered the harbor and action has been hot at times despite the muddy water conditions. The bite seems to be changing day by day, but it is worth a shot if you enjoy harbor patrol and catching some of the largest fish of the year. The cracked ice Silver Horde was the stud in there this week fished off a 2 color SWR down 10. Other steady producers have been the silver, green glow, and glow wonderbread Silver Horde plugs off the riggers or divers. The 11 green/glow hot chip with the Rapture Hypnotist or Wild Fern has also produced some fish off the divers. SWR of the riggers have been best in the bottom 10 of the water column despite many high marks and the power pro divers have been back 30 to 50.
Best of luck!
