Default King Salmon

Just got back from a King Salmon trip to lake Michigan. Left harbor from Waukegan IL at 5:00 am and caught our limit by 10:00 am. Best charter I ever took. Caught 7 big kings, 2 coho, 1 steelhead, 1 brown and 10 other kings.

Those are some awesome fish you caught. What depth were you catching them at?

Fishing has been fantastic on Lake Michigan this year! The number of fish that are being caught are amazing, and how shallow of water too. Just curious as to what color worked best for you guys. Here I'd say itsgreen glowsand blues. Here are a few Kings I caught this year. Nice work man!
