Pro Tips from Captain Damon for a Successful Salmon Fishing Adventure
Pack Smart for Changing Conditions
When you join us for a day of salmon fishing, the weather can change in an instant. The air on the lake is often cooler and windier than on shore. We always recommend bringing layers, a hat, and soft-soled shoes for comfort and safety. Don't forget sunscreen and sunglasses to protect you from the sun's glare.
The Importance of Fresh Bait and Gear
We pride ourselves on using top-of-the-line equipment at About Time Charters. Captain Damon meticulously prepares all the gear before each trip, from fresh bait to finely tuned rods and reels. This ensures you're ready for the moment a powerful salmon strikes. A well-maintained setup significantly increases your chances of a successful catch.
Listening to the Captain’s Local Knowledge
Our team's extensive knowledge of Lake Michigan's waters is your biggest advantage. Captain Damon tracks the movements of king salmon and other species based on water temperature, currents, and seasonal patterns. Listening to his insights on lure selection and technique is crucial for maximizing your success on the water.
A Positive Attitude and Patience
Fishing, especially for a powerful fish like the king salmon, is as much about patience as it is about skill. There will be moments of quiet, but the thrill of the fight is worth the wait. Our charters are a chance to unwind, enjoy the scenery, and bond with friends and family. Keep a positive outlook, and the memories will be priceless.
