Storm Force Sportfishing is located in Winthrop Harbor and offers to show you a memorable time on Lake Michigan.
Capt. Blake will do his best to make sure you have a fun day full of fishing. This involves 6-hour trips, mainly fishing for Brown Trout, Rainbow Trout, Lake Trout, and Salmon, depending on the season and conditions on the day. On these trips, you can expect to use techniques such as light tackle, heavy tackle, and trolling.
Your fishing adventure starts on the Storm Force, a professionally mechanically maintained and cleaned state-of-the-art 36’ Tiara sportfishing vessel. It can safely take up to 6 anglers. With over 800 horsepower, you’re able to reach the fish smoothly and quickly without being limited to fishing within a few miles off the harbor. The boat comes with a toilet and an ice-box.
The price includes all the top-class tackle. Capt. Blake uses Shimano, Okuma, and Ugly Stik rods paired with Shimano, Penn, and Okuma reels. He has a tackle selection the size of most tackle shops to always make sure he has what the fish wants. Please make sure to buy a valid fishing license ahead of time. The captain will clean and fillet your catch for you to take home at the end of the trip.
Book your trip now and hit the water with Storm Force Sportfishing.

Fishing with Captain Blake and Isaac was a top-notch experience! I cannot say enough great things about them. It was my family's first time fishing on a charter and it was especially thrilling for my dad. We had no idea what to expect, but Captain Blake and Isaac were so helpful and hardworking. Every time that a fish started biting, they were lightning fast and ran over to the tackle. It was such excitement! We caught 19 fish! Captain Blake was thoroughly knowledgeable and skilled. On our way back to shore, Isaac worked diligently on cleaning the fish and we were visited by some very happy seagulls. All in all, it was a 10/10 trip. My family is still talking about it and we cannot wait to go again!

This was our first time doing a charter trip and it will not be our last! It was such an amazing experience! Captain Blake was on the fish the whole time. Him and his first mate made it easy to be first timers with big fishing on Lake Michigan. They took time to answer questions and explain the best way to catch fish. It was a nice experience where everything was set up for you so all you had to do is go fish and enjoy a day on the lake. Plenty of time to take pictures before getting the fish in the cooler on board and the fish filleted and bagged to take home. Remember to bring a cooler and ice with you to take your catch home.

This was a once-in-a-lifetime experience for my 75-year-old dad. He has fished locally and has never caught a big fish. He kept saying how he wished he could catch a big fish, so we booked this fishing charter for his birthday. What an experience! We caught 13 fish and they were large enough to check this item off my dad's bucket list. He was so excited and wanted photos with each fish! Captain Blake was wonderful, as was his assistant, Isaac. They did their best to make sure we were all comfortable and enjoying ourselves. They did all the hard work and we just sat back and reeled in the fish, which was perfect for the non-experienced fishermen that we are. My dad needed a cane, which was no trouble. They helped him on the boat safely and he sat for the whole trip. At the end Captain Blake washed off all of our fish for a great photo and helped my dad stand in a secure spot for the pics. He even took the photos for us. The finale was also great...Captain Blake cleaned and filleted the fish for us and threw the scraps into the water, which started a seagull feeding frenzy! The seagull show was a trip highlight. Overall, A+ experience, worth every penny, and something that made an old man's dreams come true. Thank you, Captain Blake!

It was nuts, the weather was pretty bad the night before and the fish were biting like crazy the morning we went out. With 6 of us, 5 fish each is the limit. One of us caught about a 15 pounder. Lots of coho salmon, rainbow trout, king salmon, and lake trout. I've never caught fish this big or this many in my life. They even sliced and bagged us up 6 big bags full of fillets! Right on the boat!
