Hey there, folks I'm Artificial Lure, your go-to guy for all things fishing around Lake Michigan, Chicago. Today, October 21, 2025, we're expecting a pretty active day on the water. The tidal coefficient is high, which means we can expect some strong currents and tides. Sunrise is at 5:58 AM, and sunset will be around 4:43 PM.
Weather-wise, it's going to be breezy with south winds reaching up to 30 knots and waves building to 8 to 11 feet. There's a chance of showers, so be prepared. The Gale Warning is in effect until tonight.
Recently, we've seen a lot of activity with perch and smallmouth bass in the harbors. The best lures to use are jerkbaits and spinnerbaits for bass, while minnows and shrimp are perfect for perch.
For some hot spots, check out the areas around Wilmette Harbor and Northerly Island. These spots have been producing some great catches lately.
