Sand Point Charters

It’s been busy lately with lots of things besides fishing, so I’m going through with-drawl symptoms and fishing dreams where I’m getting a big bite or fighting a big one! (sorry, Margie, for the twitching and flying elbows) I guess It’s ok to dream of fishing on my off-days, but it’s always tough to come […]

Is anyone else with me in my belief that people are way too busy in today’s world? Granted, I did not ask everyone I know if they wanted to go on a free color cruise, and I didn’t offer much time for planning, but I made lots of phone calls to invite people who had […]

Every time I sit down to write, I see the date of the last writing and marvel at how many days (and sometimes weeks) have past since then… it must mean I’m having fun, because as the saying goes, “time flies when…” It also makes me realize if I’m not having fun, I better change […]

In the morning hours I headed out near bear bluff again to fish in 40 to 100 feet of water for coho salmon. Here’s a couple of sun-rise shots. Almost right away, I hooked into a 3.5 lb coho and thought I’d get a few more, but only one more hit came from a sucker, […]

Thursday I had to go to town with some kids and spent the night, so by Saturday morning, I was having with-drawl symptoms, like shakes, nervous twitches and talking to myself. In order to rid myself of the fever, I set out early with me, myself and I on Saturday morning, so I was only […]

Yesterday, Calvin and I bobbed for a short time on Bete Grise for lake trout and got one laker. He didn’t want to stay out long, and I promised only a short time and had to stick with my promise. We landed one fish and saw 2 ships leaving the bay that were seeking protection […]

Wednesday was a late start, as a family of 6 drove all the way from L’Anse where they were renting a cabin for the week. Eight year marine, Brian and his wife, mother-in-law and 3 kids enjoyed a day of trolling for Lake Trout in the Keweenaw. Afterwords, they brought their catch to the Harbor […]

Today, we set out at 8 am from Lac La Belle on a long journey to see 7 lighthouses. Not much to write about, except I tried jigging for Lake Trout near Granite Island for 5 minutes and Huron Island for about 15 minutes, then trolled for 10 minutes near Bete Grise in a new […]

I can’t believe it’s almost been a week since I posted a fishing up-date. When so much time goes by, it’s hard to remember names and details of each day. On Monday, my mother joined us on a cruise to Manitou and Gull Rock Lighthouses with a couple from the Greater Chicago area who were […]

No time to write much now. Fished last Friday night with RN Ken and his boys, Saul and Gavin in Bete Grise for a couple hours and came in with 4 really nice Coho Salmon. Then on Saturday, me and the boys (and Joyce) fished Lac La Belle in a kids fishing tournament. the boys […]
