I had the opportunity to go over to Kenosha Wisconsin with my dad, brother, brother-in-law and nephew this weekend to fish for some salmon and trout on lake michigan. We loaded up Saturday afternoon and headed out for about a 5 hour drive to Kenosha. Sunday morning rolled around and we were at the Marina at a little before 4 am to board with Captain Frank at twentyfourvii outfitters. The weather and sunrise was beautiful out on the water and our anticipation was high since they had been catching good fish and good quantities for the last week or so. Unfortunately, that changed a bit and we had a tough time getting the salmon to bite when the "should" have. Our captain was talking to a bunch of other charter's fishing the same area and they were all experiencing the same thing. Fish showing on the finders but they weren't wanting to bite. Regardless, it was still a blast and we ended up landing 6 fish including, 1 King salmon, 1 Silver salmon, 1 Steelhead trout and 4 lake trout. The smallest fish was about 2-3 pounds and the largest was probably 6 or 7. We had a 12 pounder at the boat but netting it didn't go as planned and it lived to see another day.
I'm not much of a fisherman but this was definitely worth doing, and really is pretty reasonable price wise. I'll definitely be going back in the future and wouldn't hesitate to go back with Frank again.
Here's the steelhead that I caught.
And a group photo with one fish still in the cooler.
