Capt. John runs trips out of Waukegan. These waters are known for Salmon and Trout and he will show you how to catch them, whether you're trolling or using a more specialized technique. Capt. John has a trick or two up his sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join him out on the water!

    Asked Captain John to target Kings on this trip, he had a plan based on some intel he received and we put plenty of nice Kings in the cooler. Caught a few steelhead, coho and a brown trout to top it off. My buddy was up from GA and is ready to return for another trip. My other buddy had his 10yr old with him, and First Mate Radu and Captain John were very patient with him for his first Lake Michigan trip. Highly recommend this boat and Captain out of Wuakegan!

    Had a great day on the water! We caught 13 fish, including 4 really nice ones. Captain John was great, worked hard to keep us on the fish, and made sure we had a good time. Would definitely recommend Hook’d On Fishing Charters and would book with them again!

    Captain John and his first mate were excellent. They really worked hard to make sure we had a great experience. We’d never caught fish like that before. If youre looking for this type of experience, book this crew!

    Captain John knows what he is doing on those waters, we fished in places all the other boats werent and limited out on very large fish, all fish we were tageting that day.

    Cameron, Thank you so much for the incredible review! It was a pleasure having you aboard, and we’re thrilled to hear you, your father, and father-in-law had such a memorable trip. We take a lot of pride in staying on the fish. Seeing everyone limit out on the fish we were targeting is always rewarding, but having a great group on the boat makes it even better. Thank you for trusting us with your day on the water and for taking the time to share your experience. We truly appreciate your support and hope to have you back aboard soon. We’ll be ready to help you make even more great memories—and maybe land an even bigger one next time! Tight lines, Captain John 🎣

    Thomas, Thank you for the awesome review! We had a great time fishing with you and are happy to hear you enjoyed the day as much as we did. Days with great weather, good company, and a cooler full of fish are hard to beat. We truly appreciate you spending your day on the water with us and taking the time to share your experience. Hopefully this was just the first of many trips together, and we’ll have another opportunity to help you fill the cooler again soon! Thanks again, and we’ll save a spot on the boat for you.
