Interesting day out on the water. Typhoon was passing us by, creating a pretty awful swell, but the fish were everywhere. Mackerel were breaking the surface churning the water as far as the eye could see in all directions, basically looked like the ocean was boiling. Terns and sea hawks dive bombing to get at the fish. We caught hundreds of the little mackerels, the sizes were on the small side and i would guess in 1-2 weeks the larger seer mackerels are going to move in to start feeding on them. A nice red bream caught on the bottom was the highlight.

What does that matter? My dad always said if we were any good, we'd have to call it catching. Burt Reynolds did a series (in the 80s or 90s I think) where he said he didn't even bait the hook because that would be too much work.

If you ever have the scratch, hit the Northern coast of BC/Alaska. 20+ lb salmon pretty much jump in to your boat. I accidentally caught a 77 lb halibut on a salmon rod, because I had no idea what the fuck I was doing.
I'd upload a picture of it, but apparently Draegan is a total faggot and reduced the picture size allowance so much that it's not worth putting up a fucking postage stamp.
heading to Chicago and taking a day to charter a boat to do some fishing on lake Michigan, for steelies and coho salmon. Never tried this, and never fished the lake. How is fishing these days, any tips what to expect?

Charter eh.
That means you sit on the boat and drink heavily until the guide tells you there's a fish on. The he hands you the rod, you reel it in, he pulls it out and hands it to you.
Take a picture, then sit back down and drink more.
At least that's been my charter experience

When I was up the BC coast, there was only one guide for every 2-3 boats (we were in little aluminum boats, 2 guys per). For the most part you were on your own. One of the guides did come over to help me with that halibut, which was good because I had no idea what the fuck I was doing and probably would have ended up with a broken arm or some shit. They did clean and fillet the fish for you at the end of the day and vacuum pack them up, which was awesome. I think my dad and I came back with like 100+ lbs of salmon, halibut, and ling cod fillets.Charter eh.

Shit tons of wild life out there as well. Sea lions, eagles, dolphins/porpoises etc. Sea lions are fucking assholes, though. Some will follow your boat around and steal your fish once they're tired and slowing down.
This sounds excellent!Charter eh.
