Last year Sheboygan witnessed one of the best fishing seasons to date. The Wisconsin DNR charter fishing harvest report was just released this week and confirms that fact. Area captains had a 36% harvest increase from the previous year. Sheboygan charters caught 24,804 fish during the 2012 fishing season on 2314 trips. That's an average of 10.7 fish per trip and an amazing catch rate. The majority of those fish being good sized chinook salmon. Sheboygan charter bookings were also up 14% over the previous year. The 2012 fishing season was considered one of the most successful ever here in Sheboygan. Here's a short highlight video of some of last season's fishing action:
