St. Joe fishing has been on fire with limits of lake trout every morning and double digit catches almost every afternoon. Most fish are coming deep on downriggers and divers. With some really nice kings being take on long Morgan's coppers pulled by church tackle to 44s.

We're in the dog days of summer! The hot bite is the bass fishing- the best is to move near the channels to cold water from Lake Huron

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.

    Trip: Lake Michigan Fishing Trip

  • ★★★★★
    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 is great! Kurt and his dad are very welcoming and do a great job of making sure everyone is enjoying themselves. We went on the bass trip and caught 25 between the 4 of us. Most of them were TANKS. A 5 pounder was caught as well. Very recommended for a family or group of friends. Musky trip next !

    Had a great time. It was my grandson’s first steelhead experience. He loved it. Joe is one of the best guides I’ve dealt with. There have been many and he crushed it. Dave Bernd PS Would you have Joe text me the pictures he took today. Thanks Nate

    Fished with Captain Justin on Muskegon Lake for walleyes on Sunday, September 14 from 4-8 pm. We fished 6 lines with planer boards and did not have a strike. Sometimes that is fishing. I still plan to book another trip next year.

  • ★★★★★
    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.
