Half Day Trips
To make the most of your Lake Michigan fishing charter, we recommend bringing a cooler with ice to transport your cleaned catch after the trip, as well as a separate cooler for your favorite drinks and snacks while on the water. Weather on the lake can change quickly, so be sure to pack rain gear and dress in warm layers—it’s often cooler offshore than it is on land.
Before your trip, you’ll need to purchase an Illinois fishing license with a Great Lakes salmon stamp. You can buy it online here: https://www.exploremoreil.com/
A $100 deposit is required to reserve your charter date. All trips are private for your group only, and rates vary by day and duration:
Whether you're heading out for a half-day or a full-day trip, Storm Force Sportfishing is committed to providing a comfortable, fully guided experience from North Point Marina in Winthrop Harbor, IL.
