Manitowoc County Fishing Report September 3, 2009
Fishing in the Manitowoc and Two Rivers area this week was a little slower than during previous weeks because of unfavorable weather conditions that included rainy and windy days. Pier anglers in Manitowoc had some success early in the week but by the weekend fishing slowed sharply. Most anglers were casting 3/4 or 1 oz. reflective spoons with green, blue, yellow, or white tape to add a splash of color. By Sunday afternoon many anglers moved to just inside the mouth of the Manitowoc River (downstream of the first bridge); however, fishing was slow with very few trout or salmon harvested. Boat anglers had some success trolling on Lake Michigan this week. Anglers were trolling in 20 to 100 feet of water looking for fish but fishing success was only fair. Harvest numbers varied from two to eight fish per boat. In Two Rivers, pier anglers had a fair week of fishing with some good days and some very slow days. On Sunday afternoon most anglers were fishing on the south pier. Anglers were using a variety of baits including fishing alewife off the bottom, casting spoons or diving stick baits. A few nice chinook salmon were caught that weighed between 14 and 18 pounds. Boat anglers trolling Lake Michigan had some productive trips this week. Boat anglers covered a wide range of water depths with some trolling around the piers in 20 to 60 feet of water while others trolled in 150 to 300 feet of water. Boat anglers harvested a good mix of chinook salmon, rainbow trout and coho salmon.
