Make sure to get the Lake Michigan Salmon stamp along with your fishing license, and bring motion sickness meds if you’re not used to being out on the open water.

I was the only one on our trip that had fished on Lake Michigan previously. I informed captain Jim and he did everything to make the trip a great adventure for everyone.

Great place to get out on the lake. Bring adequate food & drink on the boat with you, and be prepared for changing temperatures.

June is good, but I understand that fishing Lake Michigan in May is best! Our trip far surpassed fishing in Indiana or Michigan. Booking with Hook’d on Fishing in Waukegan Harbor was a great choice! We were novices but the two of us (father and son) still managed to put 7 coho in the boat! Any day is a great day to be on the water!

Coho season (May-early June) is best time to take kids. King season (July) is fantastic to catch huge fish but is typically not as reliable as coho.

May is a good month to go perfect weather! The Waukegan harbor was easy to get to and fairly clean. Fish cleaning station available and long peer for great fishing.

Early April may be tough for salmon. Agreed to rebook a few days prior to our trip because conditions (visibility, water temp, etc) were tough to catch salmon, had plenty of luck at the end of April.

If you really want to catch em', hire Bear King Fishing and Captain Dave. He will get you on fish!
For the DIY guys from shore, throw Gold 1oz Kastmater spoons in the harbor. Cast along the breakwall. Also plugs that dive to 6-7' with some wobble. Kayak guys can troll in the harbor and do really well too. Great spot!

Make sure you know your weather! We checked with Capt Don the Sunday before tornado quality T-Storms were blowing through the area on our scheduled trip. We postponed a day for a much smoother ride!
