Small Boat Summer Kings on Lake Michigan

HELLO and welcome to another salmon vid here on the Madison Angling channel! NO - we didn't have a banger of a morning, but we had a few hours to kill and I wanted to see if we couldn't get a couple of big bites from some mature kings. It was probably one of my least productive salmon trips this season, but I figured I had better do something with the footage - plus the big one we did get was pretty rad! I am running salmon trips on Lake Michigan, and catering them towards teaching others how to chase salmon from their own "small" boats. Of course we catch fish, but the emphasis is on teaching! If YOU want to come learn the ropes, check out the link below!

Thanks for sharing the set up info. Like to learn more about rigging and equipment. Nice job!

Back in the mid 1970's my dad and mom used to go out fishing with a farmer friend on Lake Michigan in a 14 foot rowboat with a 10 HP motor and no trolling motor don't even know if they had been invented yet.
They used to troll just off the shoreline on days without wind or if the wind was blowing from the Wisconsin side that they were on.
My mom has a picture of her framed on their wall of a 30 pound plus king salmon they caught one time.
I think that the fishing is now out farther and they would be unable to fish out of a tiny boat like that and it's a lot easier with electronics. They might have had the kind that printed out on rolls of paper back then
I still have my dad's fishing rod/reel setup for regular fishing he ordered from Bass Pro Shops back in the early eighties that he gave me and bought a new setup.

looks like an awesome day! I won't make it out to Lake Michigan this summer, but can't wait to get after them next year. Sounds like its been a great bite this year.

And it always important to make sure the angle of the dangle is proportionate to the circumference of the perimeter. Some boats run baits better than others. A bomb wont go on my boat but it will on my friends boat. Dont get it. Megatron is a good flasher on Michigan side this year as well. Tight lines brother

Great video! Thanks for sharing the great info.

[@ericsadventuresfishing8832]

looked like a fun trip to me i was feeling the pain that white diamond was feeling on that low diver ouch

[@richardconnor1125]

very nice video - really want to do that with you

[@georgefitzhugh6455]

Thanks for sharing

[@jkoco199]

Great video as always. Appreciate the information on tips and tactics. Maybe more info on diver settings and actual depths they run? Low versus high? Also lure choices for early, mid day, and late, sunny versus cloudy? Just a few thoughts for you :)

[@MadisonAngling]

@@jkoco199 love it! Thank you for the suggestions!

[@GloriousPPT]

My guy, awesome content. How are you not releasing those little kings tho? No net, pliers, release

[@MadisonAngling]

@@GloriousPPT I would if they didn't taste good haha

[@earlybirdadventures8677]

Question. I run double slide divers my down diver is a mag slide on a 2 setting and high is a standard slide diver on a 4 setting. I feel like if i go lower like you suggested i fet tangles. How or why do you feel comfortable running closer setting then me is it a difference between slide and just a dipesy?

[@markriederer8896]

great video, what were the water temps you saw while trolling?

[@MadisonAngling]

@markriederer8896 on that day we had low 60's on the surface, and 48 degrees 50 feet down

[@outdoorrn2980]
