    Great day catching fish on the lake.

    6 Hour Trip AM– May-June • 5 adults • 1 child

    Planned a charter for my middle aged buddies. Decided to bring my 9y/o son for his first time. I could not be more pleased. Jake cleaning our fish on the way back to the harbor meant no waiting once we hit the dock. Just grab your catch and head home.

    Reported catch:
    Lake Trout
    Coho Salmon

4/19 AM and PM charter

Apr 19, 2025 • East Chicago
Our morning trip started off a little slow but we found a pod of fish and were able to keep working them to fill the cooler with a beautiful mixed bag of salmon and trout. Working that 30-35ft of water range with spoons being our best baits.. The afternoon trip started off strong because we went right back to where we ended our morning trip. (This is the benefit of booking an afternoon charter) We boxed some big spring kings and some coho salmon to fill these guys freezers. Running the same program. The spring time is great for a close to shore fishing trip, you never know what your going to catch! -Capt Jake

April 5th Charter

Apr 5, 2025 • East Chicago
Today we set rods outside the harbor and after about an hour with no bites we decided to make the journey to a different spot. On setup we instantly started taking bites. Making the move was the right play. An awesome day with great people. We were just missing that brown trout and we wouldve gotten our Lake Michigan slam!
