They are in Lake Michigan along with awesome Kings and rainbows.
Just got back from visiting my daughter in Port Washington, Wisc.  Happens to be right on Lake Michigan.  Took her boyfriend and his Dad out on a charter boat.  25' Grady White with twin Merc 175's.  On the water at 5:00 am, lines in at 5:30am.  Very similar set ups to our Alaska trolling gear plus a larger version of our koke set ups.  Large dodger with a hoochie (actually a salmon fly).
Perfect morning no the water.  Flat calm.  Final talley, 13 fish to 15 pounds (no actual weight taken so don't quote me.). 9 cohos, 2 rainbows, 2 kings.  Nice hard fighting fish to say the least.

View of Port Washington from our hotel.  2 minute walk to the boat.  Imagine that!



Heading out to the Lake  5:00 AM


Sunrise on a flat calm day on Lake Michigan.  Note, Lake is 300 miles long and 140  miles wide!



Hook up!


8-10m pound Ranbow.  Great fight!



My first fish.  I thought we were fishing for cohos.  Grabbed the rod, Jesus, it might be a tuna!  No, just a quality King.  (Ain't no nookie like a chinokie!)




Final results:


Brad and his Dad with some quality table fare:


Our boat.  Think we had enough rods?  We were each allowed to fish 3 rods!  As such, we had 12 rods working at all times!  4 downriggers and 8 side planers.  Had the poetential of being a major cluster.  




My best two:



All in all, a GREAT day.  Off the water at 10:00 AM.
Port Washington may be the future home of Krusty   You never know.  Could be worst places to hang out!
