Ice fishing is a fantastic way to spend your vacation. Book a trip with Fish With Jim Outfitters and see why today.
Captain Jim first began chartering trips in 1988 and has never looked back. He now has a team working with him, who will do their utmost to get you on the fish and having the best day possible.
Ice fishing is very different from normal fishing for a variety of reasons. The biggest difference is that you can drive right up to where you wish to fish. When transport is needed, you’ll ride on an Argo 750 HDi. Even if the ice fails, the amphibious qualities of the Argo will keep you try and safe. It has a heated aluminum cabin, studded tracks, and winch. This powerful vehicle will get you safely to the frozen lakes.
Depending on what’s biting best, Capt. Jim can take you to various ice fishing locations, including Higgins Lake, Bear Lake, Starvation Lake, Lake Skegemog, and Thumb Lake. With his decades of experience, you’ll have a productive day no matter which lake you go to.
Up to 14 guests can come ice fishing at once, making it perfect for large groups. Children are welcome to come too, as long as they can hold a rod. No experience is needed, as the crew will teach you step by step the tricks of the trade.
On the menu, depending on where you are, are Rainbow Trout, Perch, Burbot, Lake Trout, Splake, Brown Trout, Whitefish, and Cisco. All of these can be filleted and bagged by the captain after the trip for an additional $2 per fish.
Included in the price are top quality rods and reels from St Croix and G Loomis. All tackle and bait will be included. For your comfort, quality portable heated shanties are provided too. You’re welcome to bring along food and drink. Please purchase a fishing license before the trip.
There is no better time to book, and start counting down the days till your winter adventure begins!

My wife and I had always wanted to ice fish. Business took me to Northern Michigan. After internet research, we booked a trip with Captain Jim. Jim proved to be a hardworking and knowledgeable guide. He taught us about ice conditions, and other winter fishing tips. Plus, he was really a nice guy. We caught fish, but even more importantly, we had the ice fishing experience we had always wanted.
