Lake Superior!

Sounds like I'm heading out on the BIG pond on Sunday for some Salmon and Lakers perhaps :fishing2:. Anybody been out on Gitchigumee lately out of Two Harbors or south of that?? I'm going with someone who isn't an expert but knows more than I do. Any tips or reports would be helpful

Fishing out of a boat or from shore?

Sorry.....i guess I should have specified. I'll be in an 18ft Lund complete with downriggers and planers. Just looking for some reports from anyone who has been out the past couple of weeks. The gentlemen I'm going with has been out a few times lately and done very well but wasn't out for two weeks now. Wondering if the fish have changed at all.

I went last year, out of Tofte, so a little farther north.  We were on a Charter, but used down riggers and artificials (Spoons - Daredevils).  He said he used to use live bait, but artificials were working alot better it seemed.  We mostly fished in 100-150FOW (I think, be somewhere around there, we hit 200 a few times.  We were also mostly fishing for lakers - we did catch 1 Salmon though.  Seems they were in about 50-80FOW, some even deeper!  I guess the lake trout stay in a certain temperature... not sure what that is either - 50 something degrees.

If you can find the bait, you will find the fish - thats what ive always been told - the bait can be anywhere in the fishing column, but usually 30-60feet down.  GOOD LUCK!
