***** Big Fish Alert *****

**** Another Tank..... 15 # Atlantic!!! ****

Well the weather wasn't looking too great for this group because their day that was scheduled was predicting rain in the morning and followed by some winds. I asked if they had a long drive ahead or not but that said they already arrived here in Alpena and the others were about 1-1/2 hours away at 1:00 pm. I suggested we could just head out for an evening trip because the next day was not looking good so they all agreed so we hit the Big Pond at 3pm. Boy were they ever rewarded with the 2nd largest Atlantic Salmon ever boated here at Chum Bucket at just over 15 pounds. The beast was 32-1/2" with a 20" girth. Congratulations to the lucky angler for landing such a beautiful creature. The second one wasn't much smaller at 30" which makes it a double Master Angler Atlantic Salmon day here. They also landed a very solid Steelhead and probably around 30 Lake Trout or so. It's hard to keep track of the count when you have 5-6 fish on at one time. It's an absolutely amazing fishing currently and we still have some availability this week. We will have both boats available this coming weekend so call for availability to get on this incredible action. You know the fish are huge when the Captain has to get some pictures. Tight Lines All.

We have been boating a few Atlantic Salmon along with lake Trout and even Coho and Steelhead mixed with limits and beyond of Lake Trout. We're blessed with some amazing weather with warm temps and calm seas this past week. No waves makes for tougher fishing but we are always busy with the net with almost every trip boating around 30 fish. Steady reeling is very common right now on the Big Pond making for some incredible memories. We did boat a trophy cluster of balloons which makes for a cleaner lake and hopefully it brings us some luck in the future. Also we did assist another stranded vessel and towed them back to port between trips and the Angler Qwest tritoon stepped up for the task. Thanks to the group for allowing me to help out another boater which took over two hours for the 18 mile tow.

Fishing for these Atlantic Salmon will remain productive for a few more weeks before the mixed bag kicks off full force. Once the water reaches 55+ degrees the true Lake Huron fishery should come alive once again and any of the 7 species could be the next to bite. We will have both boats available this coming weekend so call for availability to get on this incredible action. Tight Lines All. CBC 🐟🇺🇸🐟

Another Master Angler Atlantic Salmon hit the deck for this coupe from Rogers City. Tons of Lake Trout were hungry and a lucky bite resulted in a absolute tank Atlantic Salmon rocketing out of the water. The Traxstech Corporation down rigger was the winning combination along with the Team Dreamweaver superslim spoon. These fish just couldn't get any fatter. This absolute football tipped the scales at over 11-1/2 pounds and was almost 30" long. It's such a special fishery with these trophies swimming around everywhere. June 1st is usually peak Atlantic Salmon time so things should remain spectacular for these along with plenty of Lake Trout and other species. Give us a call and we will put you on the fish guaranteed. Tight Lines All. CBC 🐟🇺🇸🐟

John and Shelby were in the area from the Springfield Illinois area and wanted to get the kids on the water. They were rewarded with some amazing afternoon action on the Big Pond. Coho and King Salmon and a bunch of Lake Trout hit the deck. There wasn't one single complaint from the kiddos tasked with reeling in these Lake Huron beasts. The winds weren't being kind to them the day prior so we decided to do the following afternoon and it was a very good choice. Once they filled the livewell their bellies were growling they decided to head back to the dock to cook some up. This group wanted to participate in the catch and cook where they can eat the fish for dinner at participating restaurants locally. 19th Hole Alpena Mi cooked them up 3 different ways. You just can't get fresher than that folks. Give us a call and we will put you on the fish guaranteed. Tight Lines All. CBC 🐟🇺🇸🐟

05/28/2026

It was an absolutely beautiful morning on the Big Pond. This crew from Hubbard Lake earned a Huron Grand Slam today boating 4 different species. The Walleye was the first in the live well followed by Steelhead, Atlantic Salmon, and a pile of Lake Trout. They let the biggest Trout go after a quick photo. This mixed bag is what keeps me going because you just never know what's going to bite next. With the bugs/midge now hatching the Atlantic Salmon should take off full force here over the next few weeks. The Trout bellies full of smelt are almost guaranteed to keep the King Salmon close by as well. Give us a call and we will put you on the fish guaranteed. Tight Lines All. CBC 🐟🇺🇸🐟

Pat was the one who scheduled a trip for him and his buddy for Sunday afternoon and he had a riot. Two Coho, one Atlantic Salmon, and over a dozen Lake Trout hit the deck. The weather called for a slight sprinkle around 3 pm but they didn't say that the sprinkle would turn into hours of steady rain, typical Memorial Day weekend weather. The good thing is that the fish really don't care about the rain and grabbed our presentations regardless. Doubles, triples, and even a quad kept us busy all afternoon . This type of action is very typical early season and will continue throughout June. We still have plenty of availability remaining so you still have time to get a group together and join us. Give us a call and we will put you on the fish guaranteed. Tight Lines All. CBC 🐟🇺🇸🐟

Ryan brought the whole gang to go on a adventure on the Big Pond. They were extremely busy hauling in fish all morning including a nice King Salmon and at least 22 Lake Trout hit the deck. The big blow on Friday afternoon and all day Saturday stirred up the water and fish as well. There was nothing but smiles and photos the whole trip. These 5 and 6 year olds were having a riot with all the action that Lake Huron has to offer.

Dreamweaver 107 divers set back 75 feet was a hot presentation. 50 and 125 coppers did tons of work as well. Hot colors were Shelly snack, mixed veggies, and half green hulk. This is my favorite time of the year with these crazy shallow salmon and mixed bag opportunity. Give us a call and we will put you on the fish guaranteed. Tight Lines All. CBC 🐟🇺🇸🐟

Kevin and the crew had some great action but the trip was cut short due to 18+ MPH east winds. They were calling for 13 by noon but obviously they weren't very accurate today. 4 Salmon and 8 Trout hit the deck in less than 3 hours. 3 King Salmon, Atlantic Salmon, and some great eating Trout headed home with them in the cooler to share with family and friends. This action is absolutely phenomenal and should continue for another few weeks. This is my favorite time of the year with these crazy shallow salmon and mixed bag opportunity.

Another EPIC afternoon on the Big Pond today but this time the crew boated 5 different species giving them the "Huron Super Slam". They boated 6 King Salmon, 2 Atlantic Salmon, 1 Coho Salmon, Walleye and a ton of Lake Trout before boxing a full 4-Man limit and heading for the dock. Two Master Angler Atlantic Salmon hit the deck that were both 29" and 9-1/2 & 10-1/2 pounds. Non-stop action all trip long with tons of doubles and triples. They did great landing most of the fish but one giant Salmon did pop off when it jumped completely out of the water by 3+ feet after smacking the Traxstech Corporation down rigger tipped with a Dreamweaver SS spoon. Short Morgans Tackle Company coppers pulled with Gator Bait Tackle XL boards did most of the work as usual. This is a magical time of the year and it happens like clockwork. If you can tolerate some chilly weather you will be rewarded with phenomenal mixed bag action of spring silver. Give us a call because this action should remain strong for a few more weeks.

**** EPIC CATCH ALERT ****
Noah boated the largest Atlantic Salmon I have seen or heard about on Huron in decades. This 18.3 # monster was caught on a Traxstech Corporation down rigger off Alpena Sunday morning. Team Dreamweaver spoons and Morgans Tackle Company short coppers were responsible for much of the catch. The measurements was 34" long and a 21" girth and yes this big ole girl it's getting mounted on the wall. Congratulations to him on his catch of a lifetime. 🐟

We also boated an additional 11 Salmon which was a mixture of King and Atlantic Salmon with a bunch of Lake Trout that we chose to release. The bite right now is on fire and is my favorite time of the year. Catching these fish in shallow water is just world class. We literally had doubles on Atlantic Salmon and King Salmon which was controlled chaos and the only good type of chaos. This Atlantic Salmon action should continue well into June which usually peaks around June 1st every year so there's still time to schedule and catch some of these amazing trophy fish.Tight Lines All.
