I lived in South Haven, MI for several years with little knowlege of Chicago's fishery. On the other hand, the fish migration up the coast i can. April may be a little late for the Walleye, but coho salmon should be near St.Joesph, MI or similar across the lake. Chicago or slightly north. Brown Trout are always a possibility along w/ steelhead samon. Wind direction plays a major role for water temp. and depth of bait fish, therefore, depth of salmon and lake trout. I phoned a former MI neighbor and he suggested the captain in the link below. Sorry I couldn't share more related info.

Coho in the 2-5 lb range as well as some steelhead. Perch fishing is also a possibility. The big salmon and lake trout come later but you should be able to get fish weather permitting. Good luck and remember to post an AAR.

I've never had a bad charter with Capt. Mike Orr.

He operates out of East Chicago.

Michigan City is another good spot, the charter captain we used was first rate but has since retired.

If you do make it up to St. Joe/Benton Harbor; my friends and I have went out with Captain Tim out of the lake.

We had a good outing and caught a lot of fish. A good time was had by all.

He also will run a charter out of Berrien Springs periodically as well.

I recommend him.
