Catch the thrill of your lifetime battling trout and salmon on Lake Michigan in Illinois aboard the After U II Fishing Charters!

From April to October, the Illinois section of Lake Michigan provides some of the biggest angling challenges in the world and we know where to find them. Beginning in the spring, young, scrappy Coho Salmon provide exciting early-season charter fishing.

By June, action increases as the Coho are joined by Chinook Salmon (Kings), Rainbow Trout, Lake Trout, and Brown Trout. Throughout the summer, these fighters can range in size form five to 25 pounds. Leading to an exciting day of charter fishing on Lake Michigan.

And in September, when the "Kings" make their spawning run, mammoths tipping the scales at 40 pounds have been taken. Charter fishing for Coho, King Chinook Salmon, Brown Trout, Rainbow and Lake Trout starts in April and continues through November.

If you're ready for the best fishing the Illinois area of Lake Michigan can offer, the After U II Charter fishing boat is waiting for you at Northpoint Marina in Wintrop Harbor!

They don’t call Lake Michigan one of the “Great Lakes” for nothing!  The waters are crisp, the views are spectacular, and the fishing is out of this world!
