Salmon and trout on the big water.
These are the fish that come over the rail of the Cherokee out of Muskegon.
What you might land
Chinook ("King") Salmon
The largest Pacific salmon in the lake, and the biggest trophy fish Lake Michigan offers. Hard-fighting, and a favorite target on Too Ez charters.
Coho Salmon
Smaller than a king, and scrappier for it. Known for aggressive strikes and acrobatic runs, and plentiful in Lake Michigan through the season.
Atlantic Salmon
Stocked in Lake Michigan and less common on the line than the Pacific salmon species — prized for its fight when it shows.
Brown Trout
A wary, hard-to-fool fish, often caught close to shore or near structure. Rewarding for anglers who enjoy a technical bite.
Steelhead
A sea-run rainbow trout known for long, fast runs and aerial jumps — one of the more exciting fights on the lake.
Lake Trout
A regular on the board — lake trout come up on Too Ez charters and go home cleaned and filleted with the rest of the day's catch.
