If you’re in Chicago and would like to do some fishing for Yellow Perch, your guide specializes in finding the most productive fishing holes without even leaving the city. You’ll have a reliable boat to take you where the fish are and top-grade St. Croix rods and Shimano reels to help you reel the catch in.

If you already have a specific goal and know what fish you want to catch, it’s best to contact the captain in advance. He trailers the boat, so he can change the departure point in order to help you catch your dream fish.
