If you're ready to try fishing in Winthrop Harbor, look no further than Personal Best Sport Fishing. With Captain Dave at the helm, you'll have a knowledgeable and experienced guide.

Depending on the time of year, you might hook into Chinook Salmon, Lake Trout, Rainbow Trout (Steelhead), Brown Trout, Coho Salmon, and whatever else is biting. On these trips, it's common to troll using light tackle.

Looking to get the whole family outdoors? Kids are absolutely welcome! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Feel free to bring your own snacks to stay fueled throughout your trip!

Your boat for the day is a 21' Crestliner Raptor 2100 aluminum fishing boat that holds up to 3 passengers. It has downriggers, all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you.

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 never a bad idea to bring sunglasses, bottled water, and sunblock (non-spray). If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
