Lake Michigan Angler

I thought I had an issue with a rod that I had ordered. I sent them an email and someone from the store called me the first thing the next morning about my email.

Great place! I’m new to the great lakes but not fishing and the staff here has certainly pointed me in the right direction. With their help I’ve been able to outfit my boat with the right gear for my setup. They’ve been super helpful sharing information and helping me get on fish. It’s definitely worth a stop whenever im in the area. Prices are extremely reasonable as well.

I went into this store not knowing anything about fishing. Rob taught me a lot in under 20 minutes. Rob was very nice. He answered all my questions and taught me something’s hands on. Thanks you Rob

Stopped bye today after watching a few of their podcasts this weekend. On top of having the top notch gear for rigging Lake Michigan anglers, Rob is quick to point all your options along with his experience so you get the right stuff the first time. Learned a few things and left with exactly what I needed. Thanks,

Amazing selection!! Friendly, helpful staff. Huge variety of live bait and they are willing to sell a half dozen, the other local bait shop will only sells full dozen, which can be a complete waste of money and bait. Wheelchair access, which is important for me. They have new customers, we are happy we were recommended!

Rob was more than happy to take the extra time needed to get me outfitted to fish off the pier in Waukegan. Never done it before an Rob was full of knowledge an tips to help me enjoy my experience. *** update 5th time out caught a 12 Lb King🙌🏼

Was surprised how much they have to offer. Very friendly and easy to talk to. Excellent fishing knowledge. Carry excellent quality fishing gear and products. Strong connections to the Lake Michigan fishing community. Theyre on Facebook, YouTube, have podcasts, seminars, classes. Its everything you want out of a Lake Michigan fishing store. Highly recommend.

Rob is amazing. Super knowledgeable and shares information. In my opinion this bait shop is hands down the premier salmon/trout shop in Illinois and possibly on the entire west side of lake michigan.

Can’t beat their product selection for Lake Michigan fishing. They usually have all the new hot tackle And keep a solid product level on hand. Their flasher and spoon selection is fantastic! Great store!

The best place for salmon fishing equipment

Great store. Rob the owner was very helpful. He set me up for some spring coho fishing.

Found some power grubs I have been unable to find anywhere on the internet. Prices, communication and shipping all are great. Thanks, the smallmouth are in trouble now!

Really helpful sales person who was very patient answering questions for very beginners. Great business

What's not to like? It's a fishing store, great prices, nice associates, and everything you need to enjoy a day on the water!

Rob knows everything about fishing. Always shares what is going on and where. Best tackle shop in Illinois and Wisconsin.

Awesome place, very helpful and informative. Great service and not pushing anything.

Very helpful for us buying starter poles. Got us all we needed and made it very hassle freee!

Great service anything you need for Lake Michigan fishing and people behind the counter know what they're doing and know what it takes to put you on the bite
