Sand Point Charters

This season started off slow with the late melt, in fact I have yet to launch my Fishin’ Mission… it’s all ready after spending the whole day there yesterday cleaning and making some minor repairs. About a week ago Ken and I fished at South Entry, then neighbor Kurt and I went again. I have […]

What can you learn at the Ultimate Sport Show in Grand Rapids this coming weekend? You might ask, what if I just like to fish for walleye? Or small mouth bass? Or lake trout? Or salmon? Or what if I just like to fly-fish? You can learn quite a lot, actually… even the most seasoned […]

Have you ever caught lake trout or salmon on a charter and took the fish home, or back to your hotel and wished you had a way to cook and eat it when it’s still fresh? After all, that’s the best time to consume any fish. Or have you tried to cook your small-mouth bass […]

Last summer, a potential charter client called and said he wants to do a charter,… “but does not want to fish for lake trout.” When I asked him why, he said because he doesn’t, and won’t, eat them. I questioned him further and found that he had trout from Lake Michigan and they were very […]

We’ve had a mild winter up here in the U.P. and most ice fishing anglers (including yours truly) are still waiting for ice to form on their favorite spots. Copper Harbor has had ice, but not enough and now with the warm temps, it’s gone again. Keweenaw Bay is ice-less, so the only places to […]

Last Saturday, Stanley, Bruce and I tried out our new tent on Gratiot Lake to see if we could find any pike, walleye or perch. Gratiot Lake is in Keweenaw County, about in the middle of the county. From Calumet, where we live, it’s only about 1/2 way to Lac la Belle or Copper Harbor, […]

Well, last weekend, Ken J, 2 of my boys and I attended the “Ultimate Fishing Show” at the Novi Showplace Collection. Brother Karl and his boy, Zach also spent a day there. It was a nice learning venue for all with some very good seminars put on by fishing pros who specialize in trolling for […]

There are a lot of outdoor related trade shows coming up that everyone should know about: 1. This weekend at the Novi Suburban Collection showplace is the Ultimate Fishing Show, Detroit. Here is a link for details: http://showspan.com/UFD/Home.aspx We plan to attend and we are looking for other guys that may be interested in sharing […]

I’m looking to buy a new ice fishing tent to replace my old and very small tent. I will use it for Lake Superior fishing for lake trout, coho salmon and possibly perch and herring when they are in the Keweenaw Bay, near Baraga. It has to fit 3 to 4 guys… or kids and […]

Lately, I have not been able to get out fishing for lake trout, with very little ice and the boats put away. The steel head and coho salmon runs are long over and the inland lake fishing for bass, walleye and pike are between seasons… at least until we can get some ice. Also, with […]
