Join us for the Experience of fishing Great Lakes Salmon.    Every trip is practice for the Tournament season, so come join our team an learn how tournament fish for the biggest freshwater fish in North America. Out of Michigan City, Indiana every trip is prefishing for the next tournament. King Salmon, Coho Salmon, Steelhead, Lake and Brown Trout are the targets, and we aim to not only get numbers but size as well. I have found my clients love fishing as much as I do, and why not learn to tournament fish?
   I will teach you the equipment;
     We will have from 9 to 20 lines in the water starting with down rigger rods, torpedo rods, dipsy rods on the gunrails. Next setting the board rods with surface lines, lead core, torpedos, and copper wire. All important parts in the spread to entice the fish.   
    Next we fine tune your fighting skills. Keeping the fish hooked as the he charges the surface, and makes repeated runs away from you.  I help you get these bad boys to the boat as your team nets them. Your group is the team!
    Upon return I'll clean your catch or teach you my tricks for cleaning, bag them for  takeing home to the grill or freezing.
    The King Salmon fishing is awesome, a one of kind experience fighting large fish up to and over 20 pounds. We leave the Port of Michigan City from Washington Park and will travel the southern basin of Lake Michigan pursuing the salmon. .
