Brown Trout Bonanza
Show Date: April 4, 2026
Location: Lake Michigan, Oak Creek, Wisconsin
Guide: Captain Caleb Zorn [262-515-7944]
This week we’re heading out onto Lake Michigan to target brown trout with Captain Caleb Zorn. This bite stays strong thanks to schools of baitfish holding near warm-water discharges — especially around areas like the Oak Creek Power Plant.
Those slightly warmer conditions keep fish active and concentrated, creating a great opportunity for anglers willing to get out and cover some water. Joining us for the trip are Henry Abbott and Caleb’s buddy John, rounding out a fun and experienced crew for the day.
We’re casting a mix of proven baits — Moonshine Spoons, ACME Kastmasters, and Kalin’s Jerk Minnows — and it doesn’t take long to find success. The action is steady from the start, turning what was meant to be a quick afternoon outing into one of those trips where the rods just keep bending.
Great company, consistent action, and a unique bite on big water make for a memorable day on Lake Michigan.
