Fast and Furious Coho Salmon

Cole booked a morning trip aboard Fishin Da Net with his friend Andrew, each with their respective child, Huck and Aubrey. My favorite trips are with children old enough to remember their first experience on Lake Michigan. The air and water was chilly early on. The sunshine warmed everyone up nicely as the morning progressed. Yesterday's storms scattered the fish so we had to work to find them. We did manage to land 6 nice coho salmon, 1 average size king salmon, and 1 small king salmon for the group to enjoy. Everyone, including the first mate Kim and captain yours truly, had a wonderful time on the water enjoying the company along with the sun. The kiddos even got a little nap in too! Thanks Cole for booking the trip!

Yesterday morning, Gary booked a charter trip aboard Fishin Da Net wanting to learn more about how we fish for salmon on Lake Michigan here in Port Washington. He recently moved to the area from Washington state. He has lots of experience fishing salmon in the Pacific northwest but realized our fishing techniques here for salmon are quite different. Thus, he booked a charter to learn about the quirks we have here in Wisconsin. First mate Todd and I explained everything we did and the rationale behind our choices to coax the salmon to bite our lures. Gary said he enjoyed the trip and learned much while reeling in his limit of 4 king salmon and 1 coho salmon to Da Net! We also landed a bonus king salmon while reeling in lines at the end of the trip. Thanks, Gary, for booking the trip and good luck to you fishing here in Port Washington! I have some openings this weekend and next week. Here are my current openings for a charter trip through next weekend: Mornings: **hidden content** Afternoon/Evenings: **hidden content** Give me a holler to book your trip.

Yesterday morning, Mike and his wife and three children stopped for a day in Port Washington after traveling from Georgia to experience what Lake Michigan has to offer. They battled some rough yet fishable seas and heavy rain during the ride back to the harbor to step up toe to toe with big king salmon and coho salmon. We ended up bringing 4 king salmon and 2 coho salmon to Da Net. The three biggest fish were all in the 15-17 pound range which means big salmon filets to feed the family for quite some time. Thanks, Mike for booking the trip! The king salmon are around and putting up great fights! Give me a holler to book your trip. I have openings in the morning on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday next week as well as afternoons on Monday, Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday. Capt.
