GO-FOR-IT Charters 

If fishing in Winthrop Harbor is on your bucket list, look no further than GOFORIT Charters. With Captain Mike at the helm, you’re in knowledgeable and experienced hands.

Depending on conditions, you might hook into Brown Trout, Coho Salmon, Steelhead, Chinook Salmon, Lake Trout, and who knows what else! On these trips, you can expect to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle. Any fish within the legal limit is yours to keep. Catch cleaning is available for $2.00 a fish.

Trips with GOFORIT Charters are child-friendly, so feel free to make a family day out of it! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Don’t forget to bring snacks, drinks, sunglasses, and sunblock (non-spray). Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid glass bottles.

You’ll be welcome aboard The Magnum, a 36’ Tiara offshore sport fishing that holds up to 6 passengers. It comes with outriggers, downriggers, and all the essentials, plus a toilet on board for your convenience. What’s more, this vessel is wheelchair accessible. Rods, reels, and tackle are covered by the charter, as well as lures.

Trips are run with the help of a First Mate. A 10–20% tip is customary to show your appreciation for their hard work. You’ll need to bring a valid State of Illinois fishing license along with a Lake Michigan Salmon stamp. You can purchase it online or ask the captain for more info.
