King Salmon on fire!
King Salmon on fire!
Aug 18, 2023 Sheboygan
We have switched from targeting mostly Lake trout over to targeting the king salmon which seem to been very plentiful and cooperative lately. We are seeing great numbers all hours of the day and we are expecting the action to remain good though the end of our season. As always fishing is fishing but we have been having many more good days then bad days. We have many days available in September if you want to get in on the action!

Jun 3, 2023 Sheboygan
The fishing remains hot out of the Port of Sheboygan. We are fishing typically 5 miles off shore and catching some limits of salmon and trout with some of the kings over 20 pounds. The coho are smaller salmon but are the best tasting fish! We are also catching rainbow trout and many of them are big, 8-14 pounds so far. We have many dates available for the season yet but they are filling fast. The photos are all from the last week of fishing.
