Long Gone 3 Charters
Discover the fishing secrets of Waukegan, IL and let Long Gone 3 Charters captained by James Goebel show you what makes an astonishing angling adventure!
Your captain promises a fishing expedition of a lifetime aboard his 36' Chris Craft vessel. She's a classic and truly a thing of beauty, with twin 330 HP Chevy Vortec engines. The boat was refurbished in 2009 for maximum comfort and can reach a cruising speed of up to 24 knots.
Two things are for sure — Capt. James knows how to get a fish in your hands and a big smile on your face! Not only does he make it his priority for you to have an amazing time, but he is also an expert in Trout and Salmon fishing.
Test your lines by angling for Coho and Chinook Salmon in spring and summer, but rest assured your captain knows all the best fishing spots.
As the fall creeps in, head out and improve your Trout catching skills — Lake Trout will be biting particularly.
Book 6-hour Salmon and Trout trip when you want that extra time on the water and don't mind coming home with a cooler full of deliciousness. Another awesome perk — captain will gladly clean and fillet your catch right there on the boat.
You're just starting out as an angler? Capt. James will teach you everything you need to do, and what's best, you'll have a blast learning. The first mate will also assist and instruct every step of the way, so 20% gratuity is greatly appreciated.
Looking for a memorable family outing? Long Gone 3 is the charter to turn to! There's more than enough room on the boat for the little ones to catch their very first fish and then, get some rest when the excitement gets too tiring.
All the gear will be ready for you, including top-notch rods and Acuma reels. You only need to think about snacks, drinks, and sunscreen for the trip.
Ready to have a fishing escapade to remember? Captain James welcomes you aboard Long Gone 3 Charters!
IMPORTANT: Some trips are limited to 2 or 3 anglers - please read the description before booking.

perfect trip for my family and i . kids had a good time and captain Jim and Dillan are very good at what they do . will definitely be coming back soon.
Fish weren't biting and we had a hard time getting our limit. But captain James pulled out the old play book and never gave up. He truly tried to the last minute and then some. We ending up going home with a full cooler!! Awesome guy, great conversation, very knowledgeable. Will definitely be seeing him again.
what a great trip. first salmon trip did not disappoint! would highly recommend using Cap’n Jim and his Jimmy flys! we limited out a s the captain really put us on the fish. he also recomended a fish house to smoke the trout and we just picked them up and the fish is amazing.

after having to cancel prior trips due to weather we finally made it out with captain Jim and caught some nice fish
Great morning for fishing! Captain was great at helping us real in the fish! This was our 3 rd time Fishing with Captain Jim on LongGone ! Always a great day! Another special day with my grandson! Memories to cherish!
