What We Catch
Chinook. Coho. Steelhead. Lake Trout. Brown Trout
Lake Michigan is home to some of the most sought-after sport fish in freshwater. Every trip aboard Feelin Fishy is built around putting you on the fish that matter — the ones that test your gear, test your strength, and make for a story worth telling.
Target Species
Chinook
The apex predator of Lake Michigan. Everything about a Chinook is built to dominate. They run deep, they run hard, and when one decides to go — there’s nothing you can do but hold on. Kings are the fish that fill up coolers and cover walls, the ones you text photos of before you even get back to the dock.
Lake Michigan produces some of the largest Chinook in the country, and Kenosha puts you right in the middle of their migration path. If there’s one fish that defines Great Lakes sport fishing, this is it.
COHO
Hard fighters and even better on the dinner table. Coho bring the action and then deliver the reward. They hit hard, make strong runs, and put up a genuine fight before coming to the net — but where coho really shine is what happens after the trip.
Prized by anglers and chefs alike, coho is widely considered some of the finest eating fish Lake Michigan has to offer. Firm, flavorful, and rich — if you’re looking to fill the cooler with something the whole family will rave about at dinner, coho is your fish.
Steelhead
The most acrobatic fish in the lake. It’s not even close. Hook a steelhead and the whole boat wakes up. These fish don’t just run — they launch.
Full aerial displays, tail-walking across the surface, direction changes that’ll have you scrambling to keep up with the line. Steelhead are pound-for-pound the most explosive, most athletic fish in Lake Michigan, and every angler who’s had one on the line will tell you the same thing: nothing prepares you for it.
Land one and you’ll be talking about it for years.
Brown Trout
Elusive, cunning, and absolutely worth the hunt. Brown trout don’t give themselves up easily — and that’s exactly what makes landing one so satisfying.
Known for their unpredictable behavior and hard-charging runs, browns are the fish that keep experienced anglers on their toes and coming back for more.
They’re not the flashiest fish in the lake, but ask any serious angler and they’ll tell you: a brown trout on the deck means you earned it.
Lake Trout
A deep water trophy that doesn’t come easy. Lake trout are built for the cold, dark depths of Lake Michigan — and pulling one up from down there is a fight you feel from the first second to the last.
Big, powerful, and deliberate, lakers don’t put on an aerial show like steelhead or sprint like a coho. They just pull. Hard. Steadily. Until your arms start questioning your life choices. Land one and you’ve earned it.
