Чикаго – отчеты о рыбалке

We caught more fish the last couple times we went out, but that's just how fishing goes sometimes. Over all we were very satisfied

Coho season (May-early June) is best time to take kids. King season (July) is fantastic to catch huge fish but is typically not as reliable as coho.

Go with Jawzon, this captain knows where to go and how catch the fish on this lake

May is a good month to go perfect weather! The Waukegan harbor was easy to get to and fairly clean. Fish cleaning station available and long peer for great fishing.

We normally fish Michigan City since it's closer, but going to St. Joseph is worth it if you want Salmon and Steelhead. The St Joseph river outlet really makes a difference on the fishing, plus we didn't have to run out for an hour to find the deep water like we do in MC and Portage harbors on the same lake. More time fishing. The town is quaint and the views are amazing

Go on a charter with Captain Jim because he has been fishing this area for a long time.

Dress for the weather. Still pretty chilly in May. Went with Capt Karl Rudobielski of Prime Time Fishing, LLC. He was fantastic!

Weather can be unpredictable early in season, bring change of clothes and rain gear

Bring warm clothes for the morning and sunscreen for the early afternoon. Also, don’t forget to pack a snack.

Early April may be tough for salmon. Agreed to rebook a few days prior to our trip because conditions (visibility, water temp, etc) were tough to catch salmon, had plenty of luck at the end of April.

Listen to the local charter captains. Fish are plentiful, big, and delicious

Look up Flagship fishing charters for the best experience in st Joseph Michigan

Obtain a map of the layout of the harbor and the parking area/ locations and bathrooms. If chartering a vessel, obtain the slip number and location of the vessel.

Do some research on the charter that you are considering and check out the reviews of what others have experienced with the charter, captain, boat, and equipment.

Be ready for any possible weather. Cold. Hot. Rain. Calm. High winds. Anything can happen.

Use Feelin Fishy guide service. Capt. Jeff will teach you what you need to know.

Yes, I would highly recommend it. This was me and my buddies's first time Great Lake fishing. We had a great time and caught great fish is both size and quantity.

Be prepared for un expected weather even with predictions in the lake it feels much colder water temp was 74 air was 69 and it felt like mid fifty.

It was cool in the morning and beautiful all day. Weather was great. Lots of stuff to do around the area to finish out a trip.

This is a well maintained Harbor, which is apparent where ever you look. It is a disciplined, well organized facility you would be happy to bring the entire family. Well maintained grounds, dock slips and restrooms.
