Kristy Lynn, Mainly as the result of a relatively mild winter , Lake Temperatures in early spring warmed quicker than normal and fishing was somewhat inconsistent for the month of March and April. However, what made last spring so amazing was the incredible size of the Coho salmon that were caught out of the southern third of the lake. While typical early season Coho will average 2-6 lbs, by mid April we were catching Coho averaging 5-10 lbs.

2. Kristy Lynn Charters. My name is Captain Terry Nied, and I am a
full-time U.S.C.G. Captain. That is important because I fish every
day. I am the owner/operator of this business. Being a full-time
captain ensures you that we won't spend a lot of wasted time
deciding where to go or what to use. I have over 30 years
experience on Lake Michigan, and I hold one of the oldest
charter licenses on the Lake.
Kristy Lynn we fish out of Waukegan harbor. I’ve fished all over
Lake Michigan (Kenosha (WI), Hammond (IN), Northpoint marina
(IL), the reason why I fish out of Waukegan is simple, better
fishing. In the years that I’ve been on Lake Michigan I can tell
you that the hardest part about fishing is finding the fish. At
Waukegan harbor I can get you to the fish faster than anyone
on the lake… the only thing you have to do is reel them in! I
have been aggressively fishing this area on Lake Michigan for
over 30 years.

3. Temperatures on Lake Michigan are very unpredictable. While the
temperature at the dock might be 80 degrees two miles offshore the
temperature could be in the mid 60's! This is especially true in April-
May and September. Bring along a sweatshirt, jacket, and slacks or
pants just in case. You will need sun block or tanning lotion. Sun
glasses and shorts for hot sunny days. Rain jackets are
recommended if weather conditions are likely for rain!

4. Most trips will reach fish limit
of 15 perch a person. We
provide light action fishing
poles, or you can bring your
own pole. We use 8 lb. or less
line test. We supply weights,
hooks and bait. If you reach
the perch limit during your
trip, we can fish for salmon
during the remaining time.
You can also book a combo
perch/salmon charter for 8
hours.
