Coho Salmon
If you're looking to target Coho Salmon near Bay Shore, Michigan, Lake Michigan is your playground. These acrobatic fish provide thrilling action, especially during their spring and early summer runs. Coho frequent the waters closer to shore than Chinook, making them accessible to smaller boats and even pier anglers. Trolling with brightly colored spoons or body baits is a popular technique. A local hotspot is around the Platte Bay area. Pay attention to surface temperatures, as Coho often prefer slightly warmer water. These salmon are known for their jumping ability, so be ready for an exciting fight. Check local bait shops for the latest information on lure preferences and fishing reports.
