Captain Corey Kubsch's Super Saver package is hands down one of the best deals you'll find on Lake Michigan. This isn't your typical day trip – we're talking about a full overnight fishing adventure that gives you two solid shots at the lake's best salmon and trout action. With all your licenses and stamps covered, plus comfortable lodging for the night, you can focus on what really matters: getting your lines in the water and bringing home some serious fish. The package runs five hours in the evening when the fish start feeding, then picks up again for another five-hour morning session when they're hitting everything in sight.
This charter is built for anglers who want maximum time on the water without breaking the bank. You'll start with an evening session that takes advantage of the late-day bite when salmon and trout move into shallower water to feed. The boat accommodates up to five people, making it perfect for small groups or families who want to split costs while still getting that personalized attention from Captain Corey. Between sessions, you'll have two comfortable rooms waiting for you – no need to drive home exhausted or miss that prime morning bite. The morning session is where things really heat up, especially during peak season when the fish are stacked up and aggressive. Captain Corey knows exactly where to position the boat for different species throughout the day, and his local knowledge of Lake Michigan's structure and seasonal patterns consistently puts clients on fish.
Lake Michigan fishing is all about trolling, and Captain Corey runs a top-notch setup that covers water efficiently while presenting lures at the right depths and speeds. The boat is rigged with downriggers and planer boards to spread lines across a wide area, maximizing your chances of finding active fish. You'll be running a mix of spoons, plugs, and cut bait depending on what the fish are hitting that day. The captain provides all rods, reels, and tackle – his gear is dialed in for Lake Michigan's big salmon and trout, with heavy enough action to handle those king salmon that can push 20-30 pounds. Water temperatures and thermoclines play a huge role in where fish position themselves, and Captain Corey uses electronics to locate these zones and put your baits right in the strike zone. The trolling speeds vary based on target species and conditions, but typically range from 2-4 mph to trigger strikes from different fish.
Rainbow Trout are absolute fighters and one of the most consistent species you'll encounter on Lake Michigan. These chrome-bright fish typically run 3-8 pounds and are known for their acrobatic jumps and long runs. Spring through fall offers the best action, with rainbows often found in the top 30 feet of water. What makes them so exciting is their unpredictability – they'll hit everything from small spoons to large plugs, and their fight is way above their weight class.
Coho Salmon, or silvers as locals call them, are the ultimate aerial performers. Running 4-12 pounds on average, these fish will jump repeatedly once hooked and provide some of the most visual action you'll see on the Great Lakes. Peak season runs from late spring through early fall, with cohos often feeding aggressively in the morning and evening hours. Their silver sides and acrobatic nature make them a customer favorite, especially for anglers new to Lake Michigan fishing.
Steelhead Trout are the heavyweights of the trout family, often reaching 8-15 pounds with some monsters pushing even bigger. These fish are built for power and endurance, making long runs that test your drag system and fighting skills. Fall and spring provide the hottest steelhead action, when they're feeding heavily before and after their spawning runs. Landing a Lake Michigan steelhead is a badge of honor – they're smart, strong, and absolutely beautiful fish.
Chinook Salmon are the kings of Lake Michigan, and for good reason. These bruisers commonly reach 15-25 pounds, with trophy fish exceeding 30 pounds. Kings are pure power, making deep runs and using their size to their advantage. Late summer and early fall produce the largest chinook, when they're at their peak weight before spawning. The fight from a big king salmon is something every angler needs to experience – it's a test of tackle, technique, and endurance.
Brown Trout are the smartest fish swimming in Lake Michigan, often requiring more finesse and patience to fool. These beautiful fish can reach impressive sizes, with 8-15 pounders being caught regularly. Browns are most active in low-light conditions, making them perfect targets for early morning and evening sessions. Their golden-brown coloration with distinctive spots makes them one of the most beautiful fish in the lake, and their wariness adds an extra challenge that keeps experienced anglers coming back.
Captain Corey's Super Saver package delivers exactly what serious anglers want – maximum time on productive water, expert guidance, and the convenience of an overnight stay to capitalize on both evening and morning bites. With all licenses included and comfortable lodging between sessions, you can focus entirely on fishing instead of logistics. Lake Michigan's salmon and trout fishery is world-class, and this package gives you the best shot at experiencing it without the premium price tag. The five-person capacity keeps groups small enough for personalized attention while splitting costs among friends or family members. Don't miss out on this top-rated charter opportunity – book your dates with Fishin' Again Charters and get ready for some of the best fishing Lake Michigan has to offer.
Captain Corey Kubsch's motorboat is built for serious Lake Michigan fishing adventures. This well-equipped vessel comfortably handles up to 5 anglers with plenty of room to work your lines without getting tangled up with your fishing buddies. The onboard fish finder takes the guesswork out of locating those trophy salmon and trout hiding in the depths, while GPS navigation keeps you on the productive fishing spots and safely back to port. When nature calls during those long 5-hour sessions, the onboard toilet means you won't miss any prime fishing time. The boat's stable platform gives you a solid base for fighting those hard-pulling lake trout and coho salmon that Lake Michigan is famous for. Whether you're casting lures at dawn or trolling the deeper waters as the sun sets, this fishing machine has everything you need for a successful multi-day angling adventure on one of the Great Lakes' most productive waters.
Tylosurus AcusBrown trout are the smartest fish in Lake Michigan, averaging 8-24 inches with golden-brown backs covered in black spots. These wary fish prefer structure - rocky points, drop-offs, and areas with cover where they can ambush prey. Fall nights are prime time when browns feed aggressively, though we catch them year-round in 30-80 feet of water. What makes browns special is their wariness - they're challenging to fool, making each one a trophy. The firm, mild flesh is excellent eating. Browns can live 12-20 years, so the bigger ones are true veterans. Here's a tip that works: when browns are being picky, switch to natural colors and slow your presentation. These fish have seen every lure, so subtlety often wins over flash.
Oncorhynchus TshawytschaKing salmon are the heavyweights of Lake Michigan, averaging 15-20 pounds but capable of hitting 30-plus. These silver-sided bruisers with black-spotted backs prefer deeper, cooler water - we typically find them 60-150 feet down. Early morning and evening produce the best action since kings are light-sensitive. Spring through summer offers prime fishing, especially when water temps are stable. What guests love about chinook is the sheer power - these fish will strip drag and test every knot you've tied. The reddish-pink meat is top-shelf eating. Here's a Lake Michigan trick: when kings are hugging bottom, use a diving planer to get your lure down deep and keep it in the strike zone longer than downriggers alone.
Oncorhynchus KisutchCoho salmon, or silvers as we call them, average 12-30 inches and pack serious punch at 8-12 pounds. These acrobatic fighters are famous for jumping up to 6 feet when hooked, making them a favorite among guests. We find them in mid-depth waters, usually 20-60 feet down, where they cruise for alewives and smelt. Spring through early fall offers the best action, with dawn and dusk being prime time. Their bright orange-red meat makes them outstanding eating, and their aggressive nature means they'll hit spoons, plugs, and flies with authority. Pro tip for Lake Michigan coho: when they're finicky, downsize your lure and slow your trolling speed. Sometimes a smaller spoon or lighter line makes all the difference when they're being selective.
Oncorhynchus MykissLake Michigan rainbows typically run 8-24 inches and weigh 2-8 pounds, with their signature pink stripe and spotted backs making them easy to identify. These fish prefer cooler water temperatures between 55-64°F, so we find them in deeper areas during summer months and closer to shore in spring and fall. Early morning and evening sessions tend to be most productive when they're actively feeding. What makes rainbows special is their scrappy fight - they'll jump and run hard for their size, plus they make excellent table fare with that mild, slightly nutty flavor. Here's a tip that works well on Lake Michigan: when trolling, vary your speed every few minutes. Rainbows often hit on the speed change as it triggers their predator instincts.
Oncorhynchus mykissSteelhead are essentially rainbow trout that spend time in the big lake, growing larger and stronger than their stream cousins. These silver rockets average 24 inches but can push 45 inches and fight like freight trains. We target them in 40-120 feet of water where they follow baitfish schools. Fall through spring gives us the best steelhead action, especially during cooler water periods. What sets steelhead apart is their stamina - they'll make long, powerful runs that test your equipment and skills. The meat is firm and flavorful, similar to salmon. Here's something that works well out here: when steelhead are suspended, try running your lures just above the thermocline. They often sit right at that temperature break waiting to ambush prey.
