Sand Point Charters

I fished five days in a row now and plan to be out there again tomorrow morning, weather permitting. Fishing has been on the slow side since we had the wind last week. (and off and on wind over the last few days.) I can’t complain, though…. Even a slow day of fishing is a […]

Calvin caught this 15 lb lake trout this morning on one of my “spots” in 135 feet of water on a pink lure on a slider line. We were doing some experimenting with different lures and set-ups. Just wish we had more time to fish. We got out at 8 am, but had to be […]

Bill D. and I fished for a couple hours near South Point last night after he called late in the afternoon and said he’d be visiting. We got a late start around 7:30 from the dock and set lines in close with no action. We then pulled the lines and fished a hump that I […]

Calvin and I left the dock in the dark on Thursday morning with the Helm-n-Buoys, my 19 foot Harbercraft, to pick up our fishermen, HVAC Guy Scott and Jack of All Trades Shane to fish the slightly bumpy waters of Bete Grise. Soon after setting our lines we picked up a Coho in shallower water […]

Our family attended a potluck at brother Davin’s on Saturday evening, then stayed the night in town before going to Marquette for grandbaby Liza’s baptism and a picnic at the park. Some of our kids and I did some rock climbing with son Dan and his bro-in-law Lani after the picnic. Did some maintenance on […]

Calvin and I took out Millwright Don, Cardiac Nurse Brenda and their 3 beautiful daughters the morning after they drove the 200 miles from northern Wisconsin and pulled into Fort Wilkins (Copper Harbor) late last night. Fishing was a little slow, but we came in with 4 lake trout and one steelhead after releasing one […]

On Monday we had both of my boats out with a large family from the Detroit area. Glenn, Coleen and kids. Did a little agate hunting on Manitou besides some fishing.Ended up with 5 lake trout, one was a 7 pounder and the rest were average for this area. The big one was boated on […]

Thursday we got a later than usual start with some Detroit guys that called me recently. Retired U.S. Navy submarine man Lewis and High School IT computer guy Marshall had a good day on the water as we came in with 6 fish, one of which was a nice steelhead. Submarine man, Lewis, is an […]

Fished with baker Julia and nurse Kaitlynn on Monday morning for a couple of hours and got 7 lake trout total, most of them suspended. It was Kaitlynns first time on lake superior fishing for lakers, but Julia has been out before. In the afternoon, Margie and I took out a couple, interior designer Lynne […]
