Kings on Lake Michigan

Milwaukee may be the most underrated city I've visited. The people are friendly, the food is tasty, and the fishing is fantastic. I only had a day to fish so I got out with Captain Eric Haataja to go after King Salmon on Lake Michigan. It was a cold rainy morning and the wind was whipping Lake Michigan into a fury of 10+ foot waves.



We ended up fishing inside the marina and had a blast. We fished skein under floats. Eric did a great job of not only keeping us on fish, but taught me how to set everything up and what to expect with the bite. we landed seven kings in the time we were out, and those kings sure cant peel drag in a flash. I plan to head back up in a few months to do some ice fishing.
Fish catch of the trip; A nice female.


Catch and release.

Good times in Milwaukee.
