Background
My name is Captain Mike Dolinar, and I am the owner and operator of GOFORIT Charters, located in Winthrop Harbor, IL, inside Northpoint Marina, one of the best places to fish on Lake Michigan. I grew up fishing the Great Lakes with my father, starting when I was 10 years old. Fishing tournaments and charter fishing were in my blood from an early age and quickly became a way of life!
Techniques
We troll for salmon and trout
