June and mid-July - we travel way-off shore to the fishing grounds anywhere from 10 to 25 miles, where the bottom of the lake plunges to nearly 1000 ft. This is where we find thermal bars or scum lines on the surface of the lake, the lake trout, steelhead, and salmon feed and school-up out here. The action can be hot and heavy, you can expect to have 10 to 20 fish on..

In mid-July, August - our sights are set for trophy chinook salmon & coho. This is the only time of year we see the coho salmon because they are migrating to their spawning grounds. We see bigger fish , the biggest "kings" in Lake Michigan are known to be caught off the port of Manistee.
