MONTH BY MONTH SUMMARY OF FISHING OFF WAUKEGAN HARBOR

APRIL through MAY

          
        Coho-Mania is in full swing with the arrival of warmer weather.
        Fast action begins this time of the year with many limits of Coho
        on almost every trip.  Fisherman planning a trip this time of year
        can definitely expect to experience some of the fastest fishing they
        ever saw.  Cohos range from 3-7 pounds.  Many good sized
         Rainbow Trout and Brown Trout are also caught during this
         Coho-mania time of year.

JUNE through JULY:

 
        By now summer is in full swing.  Not only do we have beautiful
        weather on the lake but, also we are still continuing to have very
        excellent catches for this time of year.  During these summer
        months the lake produces a variety of catches.  Coolers bulging
        with King Salmon, Coho, Brown Trout, Steelhead and the ever
        present Lake Trout.  With many customers returning back with
        there catches averaging over 20 fish per trip!

AUGUST through September

 
        As the summer heat is slowly fading away and the cool 
        temperatures of the fall begin to settle in, this begins some of the
        most memorable fishing trips you may ever have !!  This time of
        year brings mature Kings closer to shore.  The largest King 
        Salmon of the year (20-30 pounds) are also prominent now.
         Many customers of mine have returned , back to the 
         dock with stories of busted tackle, bent hooks and many
        tales of the one that got away.  With a chance at a Trophy King 
        make sure to bring along your camera.  You will have a chance
        to experience what King fishing in Lake Michigan is all about !

 OCTOBER

 
        As the summer heat is slowly fading away and the cool 
        temperatures of the fall begin to settle in, this begins some of the
        most memorable fishing trips you may ever have !!  This time of
        year brings mature Lake Trout within striking distance.  Many
        of these fish are over 20 pounds and three feet long.  We may 
          have to travel to deeper water to get to these fish on their
        spawning grounds so be sure to book an 8 hour trip for the day.
        Many limit trips of lake trout are found during October.
