Whitecap Outfitters LLC
Make the most of your time in the Chicagoland area fishing with Whitecap Outfitters. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain John can tell you all about them.
Depending on the time of year, you might hook into Salmon, Lake Trout, Brown Trout, Coho Salmon, Rainbow Trout (Steelhead), and whatever else is biting. Depending on the species you're after, you may find yourself light tackle fishing, trolling, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.
Capt. John welcomes children aboard, so the whole family can come and unplug for the day! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. Customers are encouraged to bring snacks so that everyone stays happy and energized!
Your fishing machine for the day is a 24' Smoker Craft sportfishing boat with space for 4 passengers. It comes with downriggers, and all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. Capt. John will provide rods and reels for you, as well as lures. Live bait is on offer, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.
You'll have the help of a First Mate to put you on fish. It's customary to tip the Mate 10–20% to show your appreciation.
You will need to buy a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.
It's recommended to bring sunglasses, a hat, sunblock (non-spray), and bottled water. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
Give yourself something to look forward to and book a trip with Whitecap Outfitters!
