2-day/2-night 4x1 fishing adventure for four in Chicago, IL on the shores of Lake Michigan for salmon (King & Coho Salmon) and trout (Brown, Lake, & Rainbow). This package includes bed & breakfast lodging with quick petite breakfast, lunch/snacks on the boat, chef-prepared catch-of-the-day dinners with appetizers, 2 days of fishing (5-6 hours dock to dock, weather/waves permitting) or limit catch each day, use of fishing/audio equipment (new Shimano rods & reels, lures/bait, Cannon downriggers, full suite of Garmin electronics, live view sonar, radar, fusion Bluetooth stereo/speakers), fish prep/pack (guest to provide cooler), airport pickup/return from Midway or O' Hare International Airports and car/shoreline and boat tours of Chicago's landmarks, historical heritage buildings (Frank Lloyd Wright home), Magnificent Mile, Navy Pier, Cubs Stadium, and Soldier Field, to name a few. This trip is available July-September 2024 and may be upgraded to include extra fishing days, other fishing locations, # hours fished or by adding Chicago-based special events such as the air show (dates) or other festivals, all at current price list. Method of fishing is running offshore and trolling multiple rods using a combination of downriggers, divers, copper and lead core and high lines with spoons, flies and flashers. Occasionally trolling cut bait is used in conjunction with flashers, as it can produce best results on large King Salmon & other large fish. Boat is a 3000 open model 2008 Tiara with 12.5-foot beam, powered by twin 385 Crusaders. This trip will target an unknown world class large Lake Trout fishery, Coho salmon and anadromous Rainbow Trout (Skamania) fishery with chances at King salmon and Brown Trout. There also are rare chances at Atlantic salmon, Pink Salmon and possibly a few Pinhook Salmon in our area. The Seeforellen brown trout and Skamania steelhead (rainbow trout) are species that have the potential to live longest (along with lake trout), growing fast, allowing them to reach above average sizes. Not included are fishing licenses/stamp at $25/pp non-resident, gratuities for supporting staff, alcoholic drinks, (alcohol within reason) and side trips to Field Museum, Museum of Natural History, Chicago history Museum, the Aquarium and other sites. NOTE: $300 deposit (applied to gratuity) will be required at booking to save dates.
