On his second trip watched as three people were rescued after their boat capsized and were pulled from 46 water. They were rushed back to Waukegan harbor with rescue people waiting for them at the dock. It took just seconds and the boat had flipped over. Members will be heading to Canada in June for some fine fishing. In July members will be Salmon fishing and bow fishing for flying carp on the IL River until late August.
