Cold water in front of the harbor at North Point made for some nice action yesterday afternoon and this morning. I stopped running boards for coho and opted to go after some kings using spoons on...

I realize my reports have been few and far between :dono actually more like null and void banghead When I`m not fishing I`ve been doing Heating and Air and as hot as it`s been (both fishing and the...

After setting up and running the "101 On the Water" for the past 10 or so years, I`ve had to turn down many inquires from individuals interested in going out on a charter that don`t have enough...

This unusually warm spring brought my first trip up a few weeks earlier than in the past. The wind picked up from the Southeast, but heading into it along with the sun made for a comfortable troll....

The past week or so has for the most part been very productive in both the morning and afternoon out of Waukegan. A few days winds came into play, along with that cold front, and slowed things a bit...

Been kinda` busy fishing and haven`t had time to post....anyhow the bigger Kings are starting to show up in larger numbers, anywhere from 30`-90` depending on the winds. The water is cold and most...

The West/Southwest winds have kept the fish in the area. Decent size Kings, Coho and Browns have come in my past couple of trips. The water is still moving around, but if you can find the cold water...

Started off where we finished yesterday`s mid day trip which we went 10/20 with a grand slam. Today all we needed was a laker to make it two in a row. I set up a mile south of the harbor in 38` and...

Despite the lack of reports, for the most part the fishing has been very good out of Waukegan. The past couple of weeks the fish have been between 30`(as shallow as I fished) and 110`. With a mixed...

The fishing on my boat , and most others I spoke with has been for the most part as consistent as the weather. The fish have constantly been on the move from the beach out to 180' plus, one time...

Well it was nice, warm and sunny as we left the harbor, but the winds kicked up and cooled things down quickly. I heard the fish had moved out deeper with the strong West winds we had, and I spoke...

The gods were upon us on Saturday, a beautiful day to be out, winds were basically light, and for the first week in May it was very warm and comfortable. Perfect conditions for a family outing! And...

After having to reschedule a few trips due to weather conditions, finally got out. I was to be one of 2 charters I know of fishing for Salmon on Wednesday, the rest were after perch. After the strong...

Took the boat out for it`s test run with another charter Captain on Wednesday afternoon. Headed South towards Great Lakes marking fish in the cloudy 18`-20` range. Shot out to cleaner water and lost...

I`ve decided to move my operations down to Waukegan Harbor. This will allow me to take advantage of the great perch fishery that has arisen the past few years. Many limits of 90 perch (15/man x`s 6)...

Hopefully, and I`m saying that with my fingers crossed, we are finally finished with the cold windy days that have stricken us so far this year. I went from a scarf, ear muffs and ski gloves last...

The majority of the fishing for us has been between 60`-100` from the line down to about 42-25`. The bite has been changing as quickly as the wind changes direction :mad: . One trip the boards and...

Finally, and I mean finally, I was able to put together a string of trips and post a report. Either there were no fish, or the relentless winds had me doing more rescheduling than fishing. :mad:
...

I would like to apologize for the abrupt end of my fishing reports last season. There was no pattern that would hold for any length of time. For whatever reason you`d have a very productive trip, and...

The bite started looking good until we had that strong Northeast cold front on the 10th. Prior to that we had cold water (upper 40`s to mid 50`s) down about 50` no matter what depth you were in....

Well as you`ve been reading from all the other posts that pertain to trolling the big pond, it`s spotty. One day it`s good the next day it`s fair. Some days you can`t loose a fish, the next they all...

Finally some decent fish are showing up in numbers as well as size :wink: . The weather has us once again fishing all over the Lake but at least we are picking up fish on a more consistent basis.

...

The fishing at North Point and I`m assuming Kenosha and Waukegan as well has no particular pattern. What`s a good bait for one boat doesn`t work for the next. I`ll hail another Captain and ask what`s...

The fishing for North Point and probably Waukegan at times has been slow, there are plenty of marks and bait, but the fish at times haven`t cooperated. I as well as the other captains talk to, don`t...

Took off just before 6 and set up on the line in 50` just before the last hill, with 3 rods in a 4 lb. King took an aqua flie behind a yellow "Spin Doctor" down 30`. The water clarity wasn`t the...

The conditions on the Lake haven`t changed much over the past week, unless you bring into account the 50 mph plus winds on Fathers Day :( They started blowing when I was in 80` and finally subsided...

The weather is still a major factor with winds constantly changing direction, but staying in the 15-20 mph range with some rain thrown in. Last weekend (End of May/Beginning of June) after the strong...

Today was the first day I was able to fish, part of the time anyway, without a jacket as the winds were light and the sun at times was warm. I had the infamous "Waukegan Wally" and his crew out for...

The weather hasn`t changed from the start of the season, it`s been windy and the fish are scattered, constantly moving and forming pockets. If you can find action, or good marks, stay on it. We`ve...

The winds this spring are taking over where the fall fishing left off, constantly moving the fish around:mad: . We`ve had a couple of steady days, but usually end up chasing them. Some boats are...
