Best Time To FishWHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO FISH?When is the best time to plan a fishing trip on LOOKOUT? This depends upon which species you are looking to catch and whether you are looking for numbers or size. The following is a seasonal summary of the area fishing season based on the last several years results. MARCH & APRIL Weather permitting, fishing usually gets underway around the third week of March with strong Coho action. A typical catch would be a (20-30 fish) of 2-5 lbs. coho's. Towards the end of April Steelheads (Rainbows) will also figure into catch. MAY Features has coho action with many limit catches. Many Steelhead and some Browns and Lake Trout are caught. The Coho avg. 3-7 lbs. and the Lake Trout range from 4-20 lbs. This is some of the most exciting fishing available in freshwater. The majority of the Rainbows are taken off surface and once hooked they often spend more time in the air than in the water. JUNE Typically in early June, Lake Trout begin to orientate more toward the "hill" and fast Coho and steelhead action continues in our offshore waters. While Lake Trout avg. 8-15 lbs. it is not uncommon to tie into a 25 or even 30 lb. monster!! Average sizes of Coho increase dramatically as the season progresses and by the end of the month, Coho's in in excess of 10 lbs. are common. Limit catches occur frequently. The weather is predictably nice! JULY & AUGUST July and August are two of our favorite months on Lake Michigan. This period features some of the best fishing in terms of quantity, quality, and variety. The largest fish of the year are often taken as are some of the heaviest catches. The types of fish include Kings (Chinooks), summer run Steelhead, Brown Trout, and Coho. Big Lake Trout can also be found in abundance. The weather is generally very nice and the fishing is exciting, Kings and Steelhead are the target species, but on many day s all five species can be found schooled together. The size of fish can range between 6-25 lbs., with averages often 12-22 lb. category. July and August is highly recommended for Trophy fish! AUGUST During this period, good action can be found on mature Kings and browns in shallow water on given days. The up coming 2005 season will feature large numbers of Kings and Browns average 5-20 lbs. The Kings avg. 15-25 lbs., but larger fish are possible. SEPTEMBER Fish are moving in now, and the LOOKOUT is working close to shore.In late September Guided Shore fishing trips are available with Limit catches of Kings and Brown Trout. OCTOBER Guided shore trips are the way to go now, with limit catches of Brown Trout and Rainbows. Our Licensed Guides have years of experiance,and will take you to where the fish are in our fully customized chevy van limo.
