🎣 WAUKEGAN FISHING IS HOT! 🔥

The Lake Michigan bite out of Waukegan has been producing some fantastic fishing! Recent trips have brought steady action with Coho, Kings, Steelhead and Lake Trout hitting the deck — including some beautiful 20+ lb Kings! 👑🎣

Whether you’re an experienced angler or want to bring the family out for their first Lake Michigan adventure, now is a great time to get on the water.

Another day on Lake Michigan! 🎣

After an early start and a change of plans due to slow offshore action and heavy fog, we slid back into shallower water and found hungry coho. Staying persistent paid off as this crew boxed 14 coho and enjoyed steady action throughout the morning.

Nothing beats making family memories, learning the program, and ending the day with a deck full of silver fish!

Thanks for fishing with Hook’d On Fishing Charters!

Couldn’t ask for a better start to the season. Steady action and a great way to kick things off.

Back at the dock with a full box and smiles all around.
