The silver fiish are still biting, Steel

People, I spend extra in gas to go where the fish are. I don't just take you for Lake Trout. READ ALL THE REVIEWS LOOK at the photos.... Yes its that time of year where most charterboats will take you out, get you your limit of Lake trout which is 2 and bring you in with your ((("LIMIT" of Lake Trout))). I spend an extra $100 per day just in gas, minimum, and take US where we can hunt for and catch Brown Trout, King Salmon, Coho Salmon and Rainbow (steelhead) Trout (Silver Fish) along with catching your limit of Lake Trout. You are able to catch 5 fish per person and I spent the hours that you booked doing just that. See the photos, my boat and I HUNT anbd target "Silver" fish, yes I catch Lake Trout too but we target SILVERS. The fishing has been fantastic all year for the most part. I have had several trips with 4 and 5 species caught. We've caught more brown trout than all the rest of the years combined and we focus our trips targeting silver fish.... look at my photos we catch fish. Last handfull of trips have been fantastic getting limits of trout along with many silvers including BIG Brown Trout 203 yr Kings, some coho and big Rainbow trout. Come fishing with the Top Dog, we won both tournaments two years in a row from DOWNTOWN CHICAGO ILLINOIS.

Fishing out of BELMONT HARBOR, Downtown Chicago is some of the best FISHING Lake Michigan! Go with the Top Dog Book today FISHING IS FANTASTIC RIGHT NOW. ONLY A FEW DAYS LEFT FOR 2026.

Fishing goes from good to fantastic lately. Good only because sometimes you have to figure out the bite, but we've had all rods popping when you go through a school. Important news flash: On July 11, 2026 We won the "Fish This" tournament out of Montrose Harbor for the 2nd year in a row. Rules this year were catch and weigh 15 silvers only. We won by catching 11 fish and approximately 25 lbs more fish than our nearest competitor. Top Dog Charters has won both tournaments out of Chicago now 2 yrs in a row **hidden content**. That is consistent fishing. Right now, as of this writing, King Salmon are here and we are catching 2 to 6 every trip. One out of three trips has a little tougher bite and you have to take what you can get. But overall we've had some line screaming Kings on each trip. We are fishing a couple different spots from 70 feet of water out to 150 feet of water. The surface temps have gone way up so the heavier coppers are starting to work better and the downriggers 40 fow and below are going good, as are the downriggers. The next 3-4 weeks should be some of the best fishing all year with big Kings around look to get out soon. I was out yesterday on a fun and scouting trip and got some plugs to go and caught a few knarly fish and released several. Book us today to get your share of the fun. Thanks for looking, call Top Dog Charters Today. Capt JB

KINGS (Chinook Salmon) are here. We had a line ripper today. Wanted to get some fresh salmon so I did a short trip. I had at least 18 bites and released many coho. Then we got him on the line a big ole King line ripping salmon. He tore off 80 to 100 yards of line and then shorter amounts several times. I finally got him in and netted and the wind hit. I like to soak my king salmon in teraki and char gril them but don't over do it. Make sure they are moist inside and its fabulous. I kept a limit of five fish. I did not try for Lake Trout and still got three species... King Salmon, Coho Salmon, and I released one Rainbow trout. Very beautidul all of them and even better on the Grill. Come fishing with Capt JB we'll get you some fish.
