Seasonal Activity Chart
Coho Salmon
Coho Salmon fishing out of Kenosha offers exciting action on Lake Michigan. These feisty fish are known for their acrobatic leaps and aggressive strikes, making them a favorite among anglers. Spring and early summer are prime times to target Coho as they cruise the shoreline, feeding on alewives and other baitfish. Trolling with small spoons, dodgers and flies, or crankbaits in shallow water (10-30 feet) is a productive approach. Look for areas with warmer water or stained water, as these often hold concentrations of baitfish. Manually controlled downriggers or planer boards can help you cover more water and present your lures at the desired depth. The Kenosha harbor and surrounding piers provide excellent access for shore anglers, especially during the early morning or evening hours. Keep an eye on water clarity; Coho can be line-shy in clear water, so use fluorocarbon leaders.
