Another incredible morning with a 4-person limit of kings plus a coho in only 2 hours of fishing! A few of the kings were 20#! Check out the Guggenbuehls impressive rack of fish!

The fishing has continued to be outstanding! On Monday, Barry Robinson and family landed 21 kings during their evening charter. They had two quadruples and one triple during the night bite! Talk about pandemonium on the boat! Today Wayne Koch and friends went out on their second charter in two days with us and landed 19 fish with 16 kings, 2 steelhead, and 1 lake trout. Way to go guys, and it was a real pleasure fishing with you!

Yesterday morning we had another excellent day of fishing. James Nelson and family caught their 20-fish limit of kings in just a few hours plus a few more as we were pulling lines. Also included in their catch was a few 20# plus kings! Great job guys!

So if our quick limit of 22 kings yesterday morning wasn't enough, our evening proved to be even BETTER. Doug Weiss and family caught their 25 fish limit in just a few short hours, plus 5 more as we were clearing lines making a total of 30 fish in under 4 hours!! I have never seen anything like this in my 15 years of fishing Lake Michigan!

This incredible fishing just will not stop! We have had many more limit catches this past week! Today, we had another UNBELIEVABLE morning! In 2.5 hours of fishing, our 4 customers got their 20-fish limit of BIG kings! We also caught 2 more as we were pulling lines making a total of 22 fish in 2.5 hours! We had many doubles, triples, and even a quadruple on today. The water temperature was extremely variable today, ranging fro...m 52-63 degrees on the surface, but the fish obviously did not seem to mind! Here is a picture from this AM.

There are no signs of the kings slowing down in Baileys Harbor. This morning we got our 4-person, 20 fish limit with 17 king salmon, 2 steelhead, and 1 coho salmon. It was an early bite this morning as we had pandamonium on the boat with multiple fish on at once several times. Flies are still producing in the deeper water. Here is Pete, Larry, Ron, and Max with their limit catch from this morning. Fish on!

Just when I didn't think fishing could get any better, it did! Today, we got our 4-person, 20 fish limit plus a little shaker that we hooked up as we were clearing lines making a final count of 21 fish. The amazing part was 14 of the fish were over 15 pounds putting over 250 pounds of fish in the cooler! Great work guys! This has been the best June action I have ever seen so don't miss out on this opportunity!

Nothing has changed in the past week...unbelievable fishing that is! Our morning charter got our 4-person, 20 fish limit yesterday and lost 10 fish, making a total of 30 fish on! Deeper water was the most productive with everything working, from flasher/flies to spoons on downriggers, dipseys, outriggers, and leadcores. Water temperature remains at 57-58 degrees. Here are some pictures from the past week:

6-15: 4-person, 20 fish limit!

 6-13: 16 fish in just a few hours!

The past week has proven what warm water temperatures do to fishing in early June! The surface temperature is in the mid to upper 50s right now which is perfect for both salmon and steelhead. We have been fishing the 80 to 120 foot depths and been catching fish mostly on the surface, but also salmon down to 100 feet on the downriggers. Yesterday we had an incredible trip and went 22 for 34 with a mix of salmon and steelhead. Check out the pictures below of some trips from this past week. Book now to take part in this red hot early season action!

Well the boat is in the water, rigged, and ready for another season! Our crew took our maiden voyage yesterday to do a systems and new equipment check and of course did a little fishing. Much to our surprise for so early in the season, we hooked up with several kings and steelhead! We wound up with four salmon and two steelhead and lost a few others. Not bad for a midday run on May 26! The water temperature is much warmer than normal for this time of year so the salmon have already arrived in Baileys Harbor. I still have several dates open in June so cash in on this early season salmon fishing! I'm looking forward to seeing all of you again this year. See you on the water.
