Sand Point Charters

Sixth grade school teacher Mary, and her hubby, limestone quarry foreman Larry, from Missouri, spent some time here in the Houghton and Chassell area for their 25th wedding anniversary. Yesterday, they drove almost an hour to get to Lac La Belle for some trolling on Bete Grise for lake trout. Larry does a lot of […]

Singer, boys hockey player and dancer (yes, all 3 in one 11 year old girl) Taryn, landed a coho salmon and her brother, grandpa, cousin and uncles all caught lake trout on the Fishin’ Mission yesterday. After we pulled lines to go in and motored a short distance, there was a very long and pronounced […]

Grocery store owner, Jim, and his wife ICU Nurse, Beth, came all the way from their cottage in Watersmeet on Thursday night to fish on Friday for Lake Trout. They had a nice overnight stay at the Lac La Belle Resort. Jim had wanted to fish on Lake Superior for a while and finally googled […]

On Sunday we went to the Confo picnic… here are the boys after gorging themselves on Mt Dew: On Monday I took out a family from Lansing… mom Gail, dad Brad (I finally got his name right with the rhyme) and son Scott along with daughter, photographer and lighthouse keeper Abby. The priority was to […]

Boy, I’ve been running like crazy, but enjoying almost every minute of it… all except when  I have to deal with the monopoly, lack of service, burocracy, policy laden, “act like they don’t need or want our business” type of outfit post office… enough said, I won’t go into the details here! Anyway, my boys […]

Monday, deckhand, Stanley and I, took out a nice family of 4 from Florida, dad Eric the entrepreneur, mom colleen, the president of the Pampering Plumber and two teenage kids. After a little confusion about licences and where to find my boat, we got a later-than-usual start and fished for a short time at one […]

I can’t believe I have not posted since the 4th of July! I’ve fished every day since then and have charters scheduled for the next 3 days! What fun! Son Calvin, Terri and I fished Lac La Belle on Thursday afternoon, the day after the 4th and we ended up with 3 different species of […]

Late Monday morning we left the dock aboard the Fishin’ Mission with combine operator Don, wife Harriet, probate worker Lisa and two curious boys, ages 7 and 10. Garret and Dillion looked a little sleepy (from taking motions sickness pills) as we headed East out of the irons of Bete Grise, to the green can, […]

Two of my fishing buddies, sons Calvin and Stanley, coaxed me out onto to the lake yesterday for a little inland lake fishing. Usually it’s me doing the coaxing to get SOMEBODY to go, so when they suggested we go fishing, truthfully, I needed no coaxing… I was “in” in a heartbeat. We pushed off […]

Thursday daughter Darlene and Rosie came fishing with me so that Darz could “learn the ropes” to see if she can cut the mustard as a deckhand. We spent two hours trolling for lake trout and teaching them how to set lines, hook a fish and net the fish. we did’nt get into any fish […]
