I went fishing with my wife and several students on Sunday, June 10. We were on the boat "Independence" captained by Capt Rick Bentley of WindyCitySalmon.com.
We originally had six students signed up, but two bowed out and one graciously offered her trip as a gift to my wife. I offered her a free class as a counter gift.
We had planned for a 6 person, 6 hour trip starting out at 5 AM, but due to thunderstorms, the Captain decided to push us back to a departure time of 7:30 AM instead. This worked out great and while we were rained on during most of the trip, it made for a cooler day and great fishing too!
We lowered our hourly time on the boat to five hours instead and during that time, we caught 7 Lake Trout and 8 Coho Salmon! It was heavy holding that fish board up for the photo! We split the catch up into 5 bags and ended up with quite a bit of fish!
I highly recommend Captain Rick and WindyCitySalmon! Very nice guy and definitely knows his stuff when it comes to fishing. He answered all of our questions and even gave us a lesson on the history of fishing on Lake Michigan. I would definitely hire him again for any future charter trips! Check out his website and book him soon!
