Charter the Big Lake - Lake Michigan
Think you have what it takes to do battle with a ferocious
king salmon, that is, a Chinook, the biggest battling fish
in Lake Michigan? How about a giant brown trout? Or a
steelhead, one of those silver torpedo or silver bullets
with fins?
Consider a Great Lakes Charter fishing trip. You can find
licensed, charter boats at most major ports. Some of the
more popular ports on Lake Michigan’s west coast are South
Haven, Grand Haven, Muskegon’ Ludington and Grand Traverse
Bay.
When you hire a professional charter boat and captain, you
latterly have noting to worry about and do not even have to
have experience or tackle; however a State of Michigan all
species license is requires.
After a short journey, depending on the time of year,
because in the spring and fall, the salmon and steelhead can
be found close to shore. In the late summer months, you must
run out into cooler, deeper water. |
You will hear terms such as downrigger, planner boards,
Dipsy Diver, cannon balls, Northport Nailer, J-Plug, Dream
Weaver, Clown, Kevorkian, Bumble Bee, Hit man, Jaw breaker
and even Monkey Puke.
You shouldn’t be concerned with these funny and dangerous
sounding names as they are simply fishing terms, for fishing
equipment and color combination for many popular salmon
fishing lures.
Another popular term you may hear is Spin Doctor, and this
is not the famous rock band. Spin Doctors have proven to be
the most productive rotator or flash attractant on the
market today, use in combination with an action fly.
An Action fly, Strong Fly, spoon or cut bait combination
behind this rotator is the rig of choice for anglers
throughout the Great Lakes and ocean. It has proven itself
so effective; Kings and Coho’s swim in fear of being lured
into its hypnotic action.
|
But before you walk down to the local Municipal Marina to
meet up with your charter boat, pack your suntan lotion, a
sweatshirt, sun glasses, hat or visor and a windbreaker; it
can get chilly out on the big water, even at summer’s
height. (Tip: save money with a one-day fishing license.)
You will need some fightin’ fuel—food and drinks—if you plan
to spend a couple of hours playing tug-of-war with 20- to
30-pound fishes.
Mid-June to July on Lake Michigan is a fine time for lake
trout and Chinook salmon, found from 10 to 25 miles
offshore. End of July the fish are right offshore. August
through September, it’s all about the mighty Chinook.
