Even with a public dock closed for much of the season in Kewaunee, anglers were able to find big fish in Lake Michigan this summer. One indicator was this year’s Kewaunee Door Salmon Tournament, which saw its biggest fish caught in 20 years and 13 tip the scales at over 30 pounds. Accurate Marine owner Tom Kleiman says the concern he heard the most at his Kewaunee shop was not the size of the fish, but rather the number.

Even though the open water season may be on its way out, Kleiman says it is a great time to catch fish off the shoreline in the harbors.
