Beach Trolling for Coho Salmon in Holland, Michigan

[@jonlobello7151]

John, spring coho jacks are the best eating fish in Lake Superior. I don't use boards because coho are not the least bit prop shy. In fact most of the fish I catch are caught on the middle rod fished 20 to 30 foot behind the boat in the prop wash. I fish alone in my old 14 foot Mirro-craft using three rod. The left hand rod is fished about a hundred foot behind the boat using a Thunderstick jr in mirror firetiger finish, the right hand rod behind my back has a spoon (pixie or cleo) or jig and the middle rod fished in the prop wash alway has a 1/4 ounce walleye jig with half a crawler or coho belly meat. The rod behind my back I clamp a "jingle bell" on it to let me know I'm being hit. I usually always get my limit in April and May. In late May I switch species to walleyes and bluegill.

Beach trolling for coho So in this video you mentioned the lure and depth but you didn’t mention speed I’m a green rookie and trying to learn as much as I can before going out in my own boat I’ve been out with other people in their boats but I never paid much attention to the captain’s position and what he does Liked your video and any more pointers would be greatly appreciated

$100,000 worth of equipment

Sure, but you don't need it. You can do this with any boat and very little equipment. The technique isn't expensive.
