Sand Point Charters

Local saw mill GM John brought his family out for a day on Lake Superior for some charter fishing for Lake Trout. We left Lac la Belle at 8 am and headed straight out into Bete Grise to the deep waters of Lake Superior to troll for the deep dwelling trout. After landing a few […]

We’ve had a few windy days and a few that I had other obligations, but here is a what we’ve done lately on my Harbercraft. Two Chicagoan couples spent a calm day on Lake Superior as we trolled for Coho for a short time before heading out to special spots for Lake Trout. The morning […]

Our lake trout from the Keweenaw waters (or Copper Country as some call it) are the best looking, leanest and most tasty lakers in the entire world. OK, I realize that’s a bold statement to make, but just look at these fillets of the limit of lake trout that I caught this morning. It was […]

I spent 4 out of the last 5 days on the water fishing with an IT man, a nurse, some MTU students, a 3M Engineer, some kids… a mixture of people from thither and yon… in other words, all over the map. We’ve had lots of fish boated, lots lost to in-experience and much fun […]

  Sunday today, rain and wind will keep me on (wet) land today instead of on the water. Coho Salmon have been active on pink, black and green spoons as well as a spin and glow every now and then. Pulled in a Coho from down deep at 100 feet, but mostly on the surface […]

We’re seeing some Coho Salmon among the Lake Trout and Small Mouth Bass lately, although with the low pressure we saw on Saturday, fishing was a little slow with Dr. Mike. That day we caught a couple Coho, but couldn’t catch a trout to save my life! (well, maybe we could have given more time). […]

Most of you know that I make a lot of my own fishing lures for trolling the Lake Superior waters for lake trout, salmon and steel head as I have published a blog on tying a spin and glow used to fish for lake trout and salmon behind a herring dodger. See this post for […]

It’s been quite a while since I wrote on this fishing blog because I have been out on the water so much. That’s what I’d rather be doing anyway… (typing on this contraption isn’t my most favorite past-time). Charters have been so busy that I haven’t even had time to go pleasure fishing on an […]

Last Saturday I participated in a the Longest Day tournament out of Lac La Belle, Copper Harbor, Eagle harbor and Lake Medora. I tried for Walleye for the first hour in the “Belle” with no luck, then out to deep water in Lake Superior trolling for Lake Trout in 150 to 220 feet of water […]

It’s been a long time since posting, so I’ll try t0 give an up-date on lake trout, salmon, walleye, crappie,perch, pike and smallmouth bass fishing in the last few weeks. Memorial weekend was spent at Bond Falls with my wife, kids and a nephew. The bass fishing there was about as good as it gets […]
