If you're ready to start fishing in Winthrop Harbor, book a trip with Confusion Charters. With Captain Bob at the helm, you'll have a knowledgeable and experienced guide.

Species like Brown Trout, Lake Trout, Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon, Pink Salmon, Rainbow Trout (Steelhead), and more are in the cards if you cast your line at the right time of year. During the trip you might be trolling, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Capt. Bob believes in teaching kids to fish while they're young, so the whole family can come and unplug for the day! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. Don't forget to bring snacks!

You'll be casting lines from a 39' Tiara 36 Express sportfishing vessel with capacity for 6 passengers. It comes with outriggers, downriggers, a fighting chair, and all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. What's more, this vessel is wheelchair accessible. Rods, reels, and tackle are ready for you, as well as lures.

A First Mate will be there to make sure everything is running smoothly. It's customary to tip the Mate 15–20% to show your appreciation.

There's no need to buy a fishing license, just show up ready for some fishing! Some fish have special regulations, including when you can keep them. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.

A few items to bring include bottled water, sunglasses, and sunblock (non-spray). If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor. No beer bottles or drugs allowed. Beer in cans are welcome. Cigars and smoking is allowed.
