In The Box Fishing Charters 

4.9/5 (157 reviews)
 Fishermans Road, St. Joseph, MI 49085, United States

If you are looking for some classic lake trolling you have found the perfect charter for you. In The Box Fishing Charters offer great fishing trips for those needing to escape the hustle and bustle of day-to-day life. They offer shorter and longer trips to suit even the busiest schedules.

Captain Jarrod has been a captain for 8 years and knows these lakes intimately. Due to this, he offers an amazing “no fish, no fee” guarantee. He fishes up and down Lake Michigan regularly, so he knows where to go to put you on the fish. Capt. Jarrod is confident he will put fish on the end of your line.

Capt. Jarrod is also passionate about passing the rod down to the next generation. He knows how important it is to teach kids, not only about how to fish, but how to fish sustainably. He loves seeing the faces of kids reeling in their first ever catch.

Anglers with more experience are more than welcome too. Capt. Jarrod’s 31’ Tiara is powered by twin 350 HP Crusader engines, with a maximum cruising speed of 32 knots. She boasts twin tournament grade fishfinders. You will have your lines in the water reeling in the fish in no time. All gear used on board is of the highest tournament quality, so you will be using what the pros use. You will be using Talora and Okuma rods, Shimano Tekota reels, and Magnum Metalz downriggers.

You will be targeting Coho Salmon, Chinook Salmon, Lake Trout, Steelhead, and Brown Trout. These delicious fish are plentiful in this area. So empty out your freezer – you’ll need the space to store your catch! Capt. Jarrod is happy to fillet your fish for you too. The hardest part of this adventure will be deciding on how to cook your catch.

Captain Jarrod can’t wait to welcome you on board and start making memories on the lake together.

Enclosed Steelhead River Charters on December 28, 2024

I've been unsuccessfully targeting steelhead all season. Jarrod was very helpful in showing me the right technique to use, and put me onto several different opportunities! We landed some very nice steelies to take home and to add to the year's success! I'd highly recommend him to anyone who actually wants to get hands on and catch some nice fish!

7 Hour Trip (AM) on September 17, 2024

Have been fishing with jarred for 5 seasons, have limited out every trip, great personality, he’s a fisher person first, making sure his clients are comfortable and having a great time every trip, I’ve fished with several charters out of Benton harbor st. Joe, even though he’s the only one on the boat , he’s a pro , you won’t regret the trip.

First time getting a charter and this was a fantastic trip! Took my father and 9 year old son and we had a blast! My son caught the biggest fish of the day! Captain Jarrod was professional and kind. In the Box is who you want to book! Got us on the fish immediately and caught a ton! Local guy who loves to fish and wants you to catch a huge one.

Was our first time river fishing, we had a blast! My husband and his friend grew up fishing but Jarrod taught them new skills they had never learned before and they loved that. Looking forward to hopefully getting to book another trip with Jarrod next spring on Lake Michigan!

This is the second time we have booked with Jarrod. Bottom line is he knows what he is doing. This charter and the last charter were filled with plenty of fish and fun.

Captain Jarrod has been a captain for 8 years now, and truly loves the freedom it offers him. He loves seeing the smiles on kids faces when they reel in their first catch ever – to him, that's the best reward when it comes to fishing. That's not to say he isn't a fan of placing first in fishing tournaments and cashing in the reward money! You are in great hands with Captain Jarrod, who has many tournament wins under his belt.
