Fishing is starting to pick up! The perch are starting to come in but are still a little slow. The water is still a little too warm, but in the next couple weeks it should be turning out to be pretty good as long as the winds lay down!

Hard to believe another salmon season has come and gone here on northern lake Michigan. The last 3 weeks many salmon have left the big lake and entered into the river systems to do their spawning. However that does not mean that you cannot go out on the big water and still catch 1 in 2 year olds on the days that the wind allows you to get out

King Salmon fishing remains good here in August on northern Lake Michigan many 20 to 30 lbs catches. Salmon flys behind Attractors along with meat rigs behind attractors glo spoons working very early morning in the low light. Typically Salmon hang out in the Thermalcline upper 40° to 50° temps and prefer low light conditions.

    Very wonderful time with Brian. Never really fished river before and he showed us what to do. Even though we only caught one fish still had a great time.

    Luke and Troy were awesome. The entire experience was great, from start to finish. The entire family enjoyed a morning on the water and a good haul of Lake Trout & King Salmon.

    He was very knowledgeable, great at getting the fish (which let's face it, is the most important part), and made everyone feel welcome.

    Brian was a fantastic fishing guide. It was me and my two young boys and he did a great job of helping them out and moving around to find fish. Highlight was a 26 inch pike that my ten year old reeled in. Highly recommend and would use him again when in the area.

    The trip with Captain Fred was great! My boys enjoyed immensely as did I ! I highly recommend Fred but I also highly recommend using a different platform, this one charges too much, 15% from the captain and another $72 from the client. $200 is a a quarter of the cost of the trip charge . Airbnb and Vrbo don’t charge that much.

    Had a great day on the water with Butch. Super friendly, knowledgeable, and put us right on the bass. Caught some fish and learned a few new techniques too. The boat and gear were top-notch, and the whole trip was relaxed and fun.
