Coho Salmon
Racine, Wisconsin, is a fantastic location to intercept Coho salmon as they cruise the waters of Lake Michigan. Known for their acrobatic leaps and aggressive strikes, Coho provide exciting angling opportunities, especially during their spring and fall runs. Look for them near shore from April to June and again in September and October. Trolling with small spoons and crankbaits is a highly effective method, particularly in the early morning and late evening. The harbor and pier areas are also productive, with anglers casting spoons, spinners, and small jigs. A local's secret is to pay close attention to water clarity; Coho prefer clear water, so focus your efforts in areas where visibility is good. The Racine Reef is a known Coho hotspot. Also, be aware that Coho are highly susceptible to changes in weather and water temperature, so adjust your tactics accordingly. The Coho near Racine are known for being feisty fighters relative to their size.
