Fishing pics: WI salmon, Big NJ bass and lakers

[Chrisper4694]

Been away fishing in florida and haven't had time to post up here. ill get those pics up soon but here's some other stuff i haven't posted here yet.

Headed up to Milwaukee WI a few weeks back for my buddy's bachelor party. Talked them into hitting lake Michigan with Eric Haataja before the drinking and shenanigans. Unfortunately we hit it the one day the fish changed up their pattern and we just couldn't find any of the huge kings and browns he had been catching recently, but we managed a nice catch of some big cohos and lake trout.







Hit the local waters when i got home and was greeted by a pretty sweet, summer BIG bass bite. They were suspended 5-15ft under the surface and seemed to want as little as possible action on the lures! Very strange bite but after landing 5 bass, with 3 being quite big North Jersey specimens...i'd say that was a pattern! My friend tried to replicate it the next day to no avail and I tried again a few days later with no luck...go figure!

One of the most frustrating, yet driving, forces in fishing is the rewards of figuring out a bite only to have it mysteriously vanish forever due to some unknown variable of nature well I enjoyed it while it lasted!







And last but not least...you know i did some lake trout fishing
