Personal and Charter Boat Fishing –
General Information

As the summer progresses, salmon, trout and perch move farther out into Lake Michigan, and smallmouth often move out of the harbors.

Boats can be launched from Calumet Park, Jackson Park, Burnham and Diversey Harbors, and 95th Street at Calumet Park. You can also go out with a professional charter boat captain on one of the many fully equipped charter boats.

Call the Chicago Sportfishing Association, (312) 922-1100 or Capt. Al “The Fisherman’s Pal” Skaleche, in Burnham Harbor at (312) 565-0104. Westrec Marinas can be contacted for information on launch fees in the Harbors by calling (312) 742-8520.
