Sand Point Charters

After calling 5 people yesterday trying to find a fishing partner to no avail, I had decided I’d be fishing alone. Well, I thought, at least I’ll be able to fish. The wind was predicted to be minimal so steering the boat should not be a problem. I was preparing the boat with the appropriate […]

After sleeping in for an extra 39 minutes yesterday morning because I forgot to set my alarm, Joe, Bob and I set out to South Entry to see if the Coho were in. Wow, I could not believe it! I NEVER sleep in when it’s time to go fishing, I don’t care how early in […]

The typical fisherperson (to be politically correct) has favorite lures that go into the water time and time again, because they always seem to produce. What makes those lures attractive to fish?… Is it their unique action, colors, smell or rattle/vibration? It could be a combination of two or more of these. The typical fisherperson […]

I spent the last few days at the Ultimate Fishing and Outdoor Rama in Grand Rapids wandering the floor, manning the Michigan Charter Boaters booth and attending seminars. (http://www.showspan.com/USG/Home.aspx) I had a good time, picked up a few helpful pointers and bought some more tackle and equipment to try out this summer, but this article […]

Posted a  video on YouTube to show how this test tank works. It’s been a lot of fun and I invite anyone who has one that you would like me to test, let me know. I can shoot a video or two of it and either post it, or send it to you. I have […]

I remember when I was a kid only 11 years old I caught my biggest and most memorable Splake Trout of my lifetime. (Here is a description and picts to see what they look like) I did a lot of bumming with my good buddy Porky and his dad who brought us places that were […]

If you are looking for that perfect gift for someone who love to fish or just to sightsee, here is a deal for you! I can take up to 6 people on my boat and your trip is somewhat customizable, but see my “Rates” page for some ideas. It still has last years’ rates listed, […]

Grand daughter Kiely, our newest one, only 2 months old. A week or so ago, family spent a night in Green Bay so Margaret could attend a seminar. Took the kids to Lambeau field and also attended a snowmobile trade show. Spent the last few days in the woods, not really hunting as much as […]

Wally, Sven, Stanley, Leo and I, spent a very nice day on the Big Lake yesterday (November 7). The water temp was 45 and the air around 50 with plenty of sunshine. We tried to find a new spawning area, but the depth was a little deeper than expected and we found no lakers. We […]

Just a quick note about this week while after spawning lake trout. Four of us fished out of Traverse and caught 12 lakers, released one, much to the chagrin of the brother-in-law captain. I guess I won’t get any more invites from him 😉 Hope to go out again before winter sets in, but have […]
