Four species again!

Best action was in 70-75 feet of water, down 40-50 with spoons.

The West wind is good!

The winds have brought tons of bait and with them gamefish! Even the boats from Waukegon and North point are fishing in front of Chicago. The best action today was in 65-75 feet of water down 35-45 with big red dodgers and green flies, fished way back.

Perch are also huge and willing to bite, come early!

Four species!

The fish were anywhere from 45 feet to 105 today! The bait was balled up in 45-50 feet , but that bite was early. The water out deeper produced more fish. Spoons down40-50 were working and dodgers and flies down 40 -50 were also taking fish. Find the bait and work that area.

Looking for up to 3 people for Saturday...

Saturday afternoon could use 3 guys ($110/head)

18 pound King!

There have been a huge amount of kings near the 50 foot range! The best fishing of the Summer is here.


I have Saturday afternoon open.
6 people 5 hours, $650

Good thing the clouds were not bitting!

The bigger the storm... the bigger the bite.

Monster KINGS!

There are a ton of huge kings in 50-80 feet of water, depending on light conditions and wave height. Spoons down 50 were working best, but don't put away the big dodgers. Lead lines were also taking nice fish. One steelhead and brown were taken, but our lake trout got away at the boat!

Perch are everywhere and huge!

Strike while the iron is hot!

So if you were waiting for great weather and fishing, here it comes. The fishing/catching has totally changed since last week. There are silver fish and tons of bait from 40-70 feet of water and they are very willing to bite! Find the bait, find the fish. Spoons down 35-45 are working the best, but don't forget the lead lines.

Perch fishing is fantastic, but don't forget the season is closed in July, so time to book your perch charter now. $650 for 6 guys including the fish cleaning.

What a storm!

Yesterday the fish were out in 70-100 feet of water, but today I went back and only took a few lakers when all hell broke loose! Huge waves and wind from the West sucked cold water into the shore (53 degrees) which also brought in a ton of bait and along with the bait came big cohos and browns! The fish are in 40 feet of water!


The perch are on fire! Limit catches for all that try.

JUMBO PERCH FRENZY!

The perch action is awesome! Some real JUMBOS are coming in like this 1.8 pounder!
Perch charters are $650 for 6 people for 5 hours, including the fish-cleaning.

Best fishing so far this year!

The best action has been out in 90-110 feet of water. Big dodgers and flies down 70 to the bottom are taking most of the fish, but do not forget to run your 3, 4 and 8 core with spoons for some real Monsters!

Spring fishing with a big bonus!

The fishing is off the hook! Every time you think that just the cohos will be hitting, the monsters show up to make the day!
Early and late the place to start is 45 feet near humps and work out to 80-110 for the lakers and others. All the usual stuff works, but down 65- the bottom for the lakers.

The fish on the right is an 8 lb coho!

Coho frenzy!

One day the spring coho fishing is "Fall Laker fishing", the next day the cohos are back. 90 feet of water seems to be the best, down 70-90 feet and the surface are where the fish are. All the usual stuff is working.
Perch are starting to appear!

Spring Coho fishing?

So in the morning out in 110 feet of water we loaded up on cohos, but the afternoon was different! The lakers were hitting spoons down 70-90 feet down. The fish are out at least 80 foot of water to 115.

Huge Browns!

The cohos were active, but by putting some spoons out in the spread increases your chances of a more mixed bag. The cohos love small flies with red dodgers! Yellow birds and dipsy divers are taking the majority of the coho salmon.
