Background
Captain Brian Griffin has been fishing for well over 15 years, and over time, a hobby turned into a passion that turned into a calling. After working as a first mate for a while, he decided to become a captain and run his own trips, and it's the best decision he's ever made. Capt. Brian loves showing beginner anglers and kids how to fish, and nothing makes him happier than seeing the excitement on their faces when they hook their first catch.

The โ€œGriffinโ€ set out Saturday, April 20th at 6:00 AM for the first charter of the season. We only had to take a 5 minute boat ride before we set up. Watching the Sonar and seagulls diving, we knew this was the right spot! The fish were kind enough to let us get all 14 lines set before the first bite. After the first 17 inch coho was put in the cooler, it was a steady pace of 2 - 3 fish coming in all morning. Towards the end of the charter we cleaned and bagged the fish for our guests to take back to Peoria Illinois. Capt. Brian Griffin Griffin Sport Fishing Charters LLC. **hidden content**

2022 has started out with a BANG! Fishing has been nothing less than absolutely fantastic from North Point Marina, Winthrop Harbor IL, and we're just getting started. Conditions have lined up perfectly for shoreline Coho fishing. There is a distinct color change in water between the shoreline & 30 feet of water, and the feeding salmon slide in and out of the stained water to feed on 5-6 inch spawning Alewives. It's fair to say that 99% of our catch is being caught 1 - 5 feet under the surface.
