This trip is as simple as that. Bring your food and drinks, and we will take you fishing for bass or whatever bites on the Chicago River. Departs from Montrose harbor and trip will be 5 hours long. Catch and release. I describe this trip as a glorified booze cruise for 6passengers.

Captain Andrew was very knowledgeable and even though fish were scarce he was able to put us on a few giant salmon we got a total of around 40 pounds of filet. Definitely going again in the spring. Thank you to Scott also you were on it.

Beautiful Day on Lake Michigan
4/5
Although we only caught one fish (an 11# lake trout), due to earlier weather conditions, Captain Jim and AJ of Jawzon did all they could to troll and set baits for us to catch. I enjoyed the nice day on the boat with my 4 grown grandsons, our first fishing charter.

Outstanding Fishing Trip
5/5
Tim the Captain and Jordan the 1st mate were terrific. First of all Tim, the Captain, sent us a note about the weather forecast. Storms in the afternoon were forecasted. He asked if we would be able to start our trip earlier hoping to avoid the storm. We moved the trip up and that decision was a savior for the trip. These two gentlemen did an excellent job helping to assure that the trip was a success. They will do an excellent job for you.
