Sand Point Charters

We had a great trip to Stannard Rock last week with fairly calm waters and a nice warm day. We set out from Lac La Belle just before 7 am in the dark and fog, but as we approached lake Superior we realized it was only near-shore… the big lake was clear and calm. Less […]

The boating and fishing season is winding down :-(, but I am still fishing for lake trout, coho and kigs for another month or so. On Monday, we left Lac La Belle in the fog, but Lake Superior was as clear and as pretty as could be as we made our way out near Bear […]

Fishing is still great in the Keweenaw Peninsula out of Lac la Belle with some salmon – both coho and kings – and lots of Lake Trout near Bear Bluff and Manitou Island. Recently on the Helm-n-Buoys I took out a couple of volunteer firemen (3 time client Mel and 2 time, Ron). We had […]

With many mouths to feed at their family reunion, the pressure was on to catch a bunch of fish for engineering consultant Larry, army human relations manager Lee and their families. We pushed off from Lac la Belle for a “later than usual” start at 9 am with the request that we catch a bunch […]

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 […]
