Ladies day on Lake Michigan

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.

The storm a week or so ago stirred up the lake and pushed colder water near shore. We don't have to go near as far, right now the fish are in 50 to 75 feet of water and they are hungry. Saturday we had an all lady crew (not the one in the photo) but similar catch. We caught 12 fish, 1 brown trout, 1 rainbow trout and 10 coho. Great eaters. There are a few kings around and this crew did not want Lake Trout. We can travel a little furthor out into the Lake if you want Lake Trout and get them. These fish bit just about everything we threw at them. spoons flys and more. Cmon fishing on the top dog. We are booking up the last part of June quick so get your inquiry in fast. We are at Belmont Harbor F dock slip F-25. 3600 recreation drive Chicago IL or give me a call. Capt JB

Hello, I was fortunate enough to take three ladies from the Colorado houndsmen assoc fishing on May 17th. We ran north of Belmont Harbor Chicago (where I moore the boat), locating colder surface water. We set in north of Wilimette harbor where there was a big drop in temps. We caught a 3 person limit of 11 coho along with 4 beautiful Rainbow Trout. The largest each of the 3 ladies had ever caught. Various Stubby dodgers red, orange, fire dot along with various peanut flys worked well. The Rainbow trout hit surfice lures thin fins red w black squiggleys. Overall a great trip, we fished 25-45 feet of water from 2.5 to 3 mph.
