Lake Michigan Charter Fishing

Another Season Under Way.  The boat has been in the water for a few weeks and all the details are nearly complete.  Fishing is taking off early this Season even with the ccCCCold wwWater.  Last week I went out with a Fellow ‘Soon to Be’ Captain, who is waiting on final approval of the USCG paperwork.  He will be in his Greenhorn season this year.  No Hazing allowed on the fishing docks – yeah right!!   Remember if we pick on you, then we might just enjoy your company.  The Charter was out of South Haven and we had a very successful and short trip.  The group on board was well into the Bachelor Party Weekend, ten sheets to the wind, and could not leave early in the morning or stay for very long – Red Wings Playoff Game at 3:00.  We left at the crack of noon – 12:30 or so.  Took us a few minutes to figure out the Trout; but, then it was Game On!!  Six fish in the boat in less than 45 minutes.  No monsters but nice keeper Trout.  They are really biting well right now.  Give us a call if you enjoy catching a lot  of Trout.  Should be another Great Season with heavy line jerking Kings and Steelhead.  Looking forward to seeing everyone out this year.

October is a tough weather month but can have great fishing.  As the Edmund Fitzgerald Song by Gordon Lightfoot says, “When the gales of November come early”.  It seems that History tends to repeat itself and we get too many ‘gale force winds’ in October.  As we have seen in years past we have customers eager to get in some more fishing before winter; however, it is hard to get out on the water.  This year we had four fishing trips scheduled and we went for two boat rides to check it out, the other two days were 6-8 and 8-10 foot waves.  Only one group decided to brave the weather in 2-4 foot waves that built to 4-6 footers just before we came in.  Great action but difficult getting the fish in the boat – the waves helped the fish out today.  Caught 2 Kings, 1 Lake Trout, and 1 Steelhead for this late season fishing trip. Last one for this year….time to start working on prepping the boat to come out of the water and getting the gear ready for next year!
