Definitely higher a guide and somebody that has a boat that can move pretty quick. This will allow you to jump from lake to lake to go from good spot to good spot.

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

Bring layers, in case it gets chilly, and wear pants. There are surprisingly lots of flies on the lake and they bite!

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 Hookโd 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!

I truly consider myself lucky to have been out on the Double Trouble charter boat on Saturday , 6/15/24, with Captain Mark and his first mate Anthony. I don't see how it things could have went any better. I've been salmon fishing Kenosha and Wakegan Harbors for 21yrs , but this was my first Salmon Charte Boat Outing and it topped my expectations!!

Fisherman Jim's Great Lakes Fishing Adventure
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.
