Enjoy a half-day or full day charter with Captain Kevin Hughes for sky-rocketing steelhead and line-ripping salmon
Sportfishing on Lake Michigan guarantees to be a world-class experience- you can catch chinook salmon “king”, with trophy fish weighing 30lbs- these fish put up quite a fight on light tackle and can take some 30 minutes to land.
Our steelhead fishery is written about in many outdoor publications. Because of our proximity to deep water, these sky-rocketing beauties make our area their playground all summer long.Add Spring Brown trout, fall Coho, and Lake trout!
