Excellent Chinook salmon action

There has been a good amount of medium to large King Salmon being caught this spring in shallow waters close to the harbor. The size and quantity of the salmon make us optimistic that it us going to be a great season!

Our morning 5 hr. Hardcore salmon trips have been producing some excellent catches. Late August though Mid September is the prime time to fish for these trophies. We have been having excellent results trolling plugs and spoons just outside the rivermouth in the shallow waters of Lake Michigan. This time of year it isn’t unusual to hook into a few of these beasts even on our 2 hr. Harbor fishing trips.

Some nice mixes of fish are being taken including King Salmon, Coho salmon, Steelhead and Lake Trout. The size of the fish and quantities are improving daily. We have had several double digit catches of hard fighting large freshwater drum on almost every 2 hr. Trip the past few weeks.
