Chicago Fishing School

Because lakes are PACKED with fish if you know just a little bit. We teach what YouTube, Big Box Stores and weekend videos CAN’T. (They all copy each other and cause you to catch little to nothing. Break from the pack and catch 50 fish or a 5 lb. fish right near your house in the local pond. Grab us for a half day, full day or have us host a fishing party for you – your catch will blow you away! Let’s get fishing

Two Ways to Improve Your Fishing (catching)

Guided Fishing or Lesson or Group Classes

September 5th 9 am F1 (1.5 hours)
September 26th 10:30 am F23 (Class 2-3 2.5 hours).
September 26th 8 am F1 (1.5 Hours)

Either way choose, you will learn to catch a lot of fish. Also, you will catch more big fish locally around Chicago and the Chicago suburbs.
Both are roughly the same cost.

Group Fishing Class is slightly lower cost, but you will share the lesson with others. Currently the Group Classes are limited to 9 fishers. Group fishing class is split up into two class series. F1 is the first class and F23 is a combined longer finishing class. F1 is 1.5 hours in length and F23 is 3 hours in length. You DO need both classes in sequence. You MAY take a refresher course at a discount and go through the sessions again-but you probably won’t need it.

Guided Fishing is private fishing where we go out catch fish and learn and we select a location. Our instructor will hand-pick a location based on your fishing goals. A lot of fish. Big Fish? Combination? Somewhere close to you or your private pond. Take a guided 1/2 day lesson or full day – the bargain is when you invite a second or third angler. Steep discounts for every person you add to the guided fishing!!! Our format makes 4, 5 or 6 people very affordable with the larger groups going under $100 a person for a 1/2 day of fishing action. Guided fishing is customized to your wishes. More fishing, More learning? You choose either or a combination of both. Let’s Catch! In the Chicago area, book a Guided

Johnny Wilkins fished in 3 World Championships for Team U.S.A. qualifying as one of the 5 best American anglers, fishing in Portugal, Belgium and Italy for the United States. Catching all species in any lake, he will teach you the direct line to catching fish. He currently holds the world record (most fish caught from shore in a 24-hour period) with 2,011 fish caught on 1 hook. The shore fishing record.

Johnny has been teaching for 20+ years and has perfected the methods that get brand new fishers catching as well as improving the catches of disappointed veteran anglers. Johny will open up your world to an adventure of “catching” while others “fish”. In a  1/2-day lesson or full day, a group fishing class,  he can change local ponds into adventures. Your fishing will go from dull to  flying fish or a trophy fish of a lifetime at your local pond, close to your home. Families have been learning to catch fish without a boat, from shore (or using a boat) more than ever. Johnny has taught over 1,000 people how to catch more fish and also created a fishing tackle store   www. livebaitfishingtackle.com that features fish-catching tackle, most not found in any stores.
