Fish With Jim Outfitters Fishing Adventures
Fish With Jim Outfitters is a mobile fishing guide service meeting clients at multiple locations near Elk Rapids on Torch Lake, Elk Lake, and Grand Traverse Bay. We offer unforgettable Northern Michigan fishing charters targeting Atlantic Salmon, Lake Trout, Brown Trout, King Salmon, Perch, Walleye, Steelhead, and Cisco across some of the region's most scenic fisheries.
Captain Jim Chamberlin specializes in action-packed fishing experiences for anglers of all skill levels. Whether you're chasing trophy fish or planning a family day on the water, Fish With Jim Outfitters delivers a laid-back, educational, and productive trip designed to create lasting memories. Trips are ideal for beginners, experienced anglers, families, and groups wanting to experience Northern Michigan from the water.
One of the biggest advantages of Fish With Jim Outfitters is our mobile operation. Unlike many charter services limited to one port, we can move throughout the Traverse City area to target fishing opportunities and favorable weather conditions. Depending on seasonal patterns and fishing activity, trips may take place on Torch Lake, Elk Lake, Grand Traverse Bay, or nearby fisheries.
Fish With Jim Outfitters specializes in Atlantic Salmon fishing on Torch Lake and Elk Lake, offering one of Northern Michigan's most unique inland fisheries. These crystal-clear lakes provide calmer waters than Lake Michigan and excellent opportunities to catch hard-fighting salmon and trout throughout the season.
Trips are fully equipped with rods, reels, electronics, tackle, and proven custom-painted lures from 131 Custom Lures. Captain Jim uses years of local experience and advanced trolling techniques to consistently put clients on fish while creating a fun and educational atmosphere on the water.

We had a great day with Jim and Landon! They were so patient and kind with my 10 year old who was eager but timid! Also.. caught lots of fish! They cut some and suggested we take it right to Apache Trout Grill in Traverse who prepared it for us!
Jim took my son and two friends on an afternoon trip and they had a great day. They caught fish, which was great, but they enjoyed themselves and Jim and said they would have had a great time even if they didnt catch fish!
Jim and Landon are great, very enjoyable to be with out on the bay. We had a blast and got some nice fish for the barbecue. I can't imagine anyone who wouldn't have a good time, these guys really know what they are doing.
Jim and Landon were awesome with the kids and got us on the fish!

Brant it was a pleasure fishing with you and the boys today!
excellent outcome. big fish

Thank you so much for the kind review! We really appreciate you choosing Fish With Jim Outfitters. The Canadian wildfire smoke definitely made for some challenging conditions, but I’m glad we were still able to put together a successful day on the water and land some big fish. Fishing isn’t always about perfect conditions—it’s about adapting to what Mother Nature gives us, and I’m happy we could make the most of your trip. It was a pleasure having you aboard, and I hope to fish with you again under clearer skies next time. Thanks again for your support and for taking the time to leave a review
