2019 Recap

We started the year early in the spring with plentiful of Coho salmon roaming the shoreline of just about every Chicago harbor. Like most fellow fisherman Why Knot enjoyed the bounty with some good numbers of Coho salmon in the fishing box. As the season progressed a variety of salmonid species became actively feeding including the elusive King salmon and Lake trout presenting the perfect opportunity for some good size fish to be caught. Mother Nature had some mood swings mid summer with gusty winds and choppy waters forcing small boat operators to wait ashore and watch the weather from the protection of the harbors. Early and late fall very few predominantly larger boats continued to chase the fish tales till the end of the season. It didn’t take much more than the cancellation of several fishing trips to come to a conclusion that bigger boat was the answer to ever changing weather pattern. Late August a decision was made that 339 Penn Yan Commander would be the correct solution in response to the new challenges the weather had to offer. With the new addition fishing would be definitely more exciting than ever and offer a lot more comfort and stile for the entire crew and passengers alike. Changes in fishing trips packages are pending to reflect the addition of the larger boat.
