Great Lakes Grand Slam

"Brownies would be the hardest to find in July." Huenink said. "Browns tend to frequent the shallow structure that is abundant near the port. Another spot to find a brown would be in what we call "The Gap" or between the pierheads or near the power plant."

Lake trout are a given during the summer months.

"You can always find lake trout here," Huenink said. "You'll find them suspended over deep water and on bottom in 90 feet of water. Quite often, you find them near the two wrecks we have here."

Rotators or flashers with an e-chip are the ticket for those targeting lake trout, Huenink said, and the blades are good for kings too. Both can be caught on flasher/fly combos fished on braided wire.

"Steelies like orange, cohos too," he said. "Bright green and silver can be a good color combination for rainbows and cohos too. It's pretty hard to beat a small, red dodger with a P-Nut fly in blue or green in the spring."

Which direction you head out of Sheboygan is a tossup. "It depends on the time of year," Huenink said. "Usually, we'll head south early in the season and north later."

MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN
"We catch a real variety of fish anytime after about the first of May," said Jason Woda, who charters his 33-foot Wellcraft Trophy Hunter from the port of Milwaukee. "Probably the peak time though for a variety is toward the end of June. There are a bunch of cohos still around then. Kings show up around mid-June and lake trout, browns and steelhead are all available."

Woda said a size 00 red dodger with a P-nut fly is irresistible to cohos and will catch an occasional steelhead mixed in with the salmon. Browns from this port prefer a little different presentation.

"They seem to prefer spoons," Woda said. "Stuff like Dreamweaver's Super Slim in mixed vegetable, green dolphin and carmel dolphin are good."

To book a trip with Woda, contact him at (414) 384-8096 or online at www.reelsensation.com. For information on lodging and amenities in the Milwaukee area, contact the Greater Milwaukee Convention & Visitors Bureau by calling (800) 554-1448.
