Sand Point Charters

Recently, we motored around the Keweenaw Point with Professor, Mathematician Don and his wife, business owner and best cook in the Keweenaw, Carol and my son, Roger as a deckhand. My plan was to fish at the point for while where Leo and I located some fish the day before, then go into Bete Grise […]

Last week, Calvin and I fished for the afternoon at the mouth of the Montreal River and caught a bunch of brook trout and he also caught 2 browns that he released. We released 1/2 and kept 1/2 of the fish caught and had a nice dinner later and gave a couple to  Gramma Tilla. […]

Fished with Cad-man Walt, Fisherman Evan and Know-it-all Stanley yesterday morning for a few hours on a new spot that I picked out from looking at the lake charts. The sun-rise was awesome as we exited the channel and Walt got a few nice shots of it. Fishing started off slow, but soon picked up […]

Yesterday morning, since the forecast called for a little wind later in the morning, we went directly out to one of my furthest spots with the plan to work out way in later in the morning. We caught 5 lake trout in deeper water after striking out on the shallower spot. All were small, but […]

I fished five days in a row now and plan to be out there again tomorrow morning, weather permitting. Fishing has been on the slow side since we had the wind last week. (and off and on wind over the last few days.) I can’t complain, though…. Even a slow day of fishing is a […]

Calvin caught this 15 lb lake trout this morning on one of my “spots” in 135 feet of water on a pink lure on a slider line. We were doing some experimenting with different lures and set-ups. Just wish we had more time to fish. We got out at 8 am, but had to be […]

Bill D. and I fished for a couple hours near South Point last night after he called late in the afternoon and said he’d be visiting. We got a late start around 7:30 from the dock and set lines in close with no action. We then pulled the lines and fished a hump that I […]

Calvin and I left the dock in the dark on Thursday morning with the Helm-n-Buoys, my 19 foot Harbercraft, to pick up our fishermen, HVAC Guy Scott and Jack of All Trades Shane to fish the slightly bumpy waters of Bete Grise. Soon after setting our lines we picked up a Coho in shallower water […]

Our family attended a potluck at brother Davin’s on Saturday evening, then stayed the night in town before going to Marquette for grandbaby Liza’s baptism and a picnic at the park. Some of our kids and I did some rock climbing with son Dan and his bro-in-law Lani after the picnic. Did some maintenance on […]

Calvin and I took out Millwright Don, Cardiac Nurse Brenda and their 3 beautiful daughters the morning after they drove the 200 miles from northern Wisconsin and pulled into Fort Wilkins (Copper Harbor) late last night. Fishing was a little slow, but we came in with 4 lake trout and one steelhead after releasing one […]
