Excited to catch some fish in St. Joseph? Make it happen, with Blue Harbor Charters! Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Joshua is prepared to put you on fish.

Top targets include Lake Trout, Rainbow Trout (Steelhead), Coho Salmon, Chinook Salmon, and more, depending on when you go. On these trips, you can expect to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.

Thinking of bringing the whole family? Kids are absolutely welcome! There are child-sized life vests available, or you can bring your own. Snacks are never a bad idea so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty belly!

You'll be dropping lines from a 30' Trojan Yacht with space for 6 passengers. It comes with downriggers, and all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Your captain will provide rods and reels, along with lures.

You'll have the help of a First Mate to put you on fish. Mates work hard to make your trip count, so a 10–20% tip is customary.

You will need to purchase a local fishing license for the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off-limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.

A few items to bring include sunglasses, a hat, sunblock (non-spray), and bottled water. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

You could keep reading this, but wouldn't you rather be fishing with Blue Harbor Charters?

Would go again
Afternoon half day on September 13, 20254 adults

Dock/boat was very easy to find. Captain greeted us, we loaded up, had a quick safety briefing and were underway. Boat was clean and well maintained. Took about 45 minutes to get to and from where we put lines in the water. Fishing gear was all in perfect working order and no delays getting lines in the water. Had a fish or 2 on the finder most of the trip. They just weren’t biting. Had excellent conversation with the captain and enjoyed it very much. Had 3x 14 year old boys on the trip with me and they all had fun even though we didnt land any fish. Would use same outfit again for sure.

Response from Captain

Thanks again for booking with me. you guys were wonderful. I would love to have you out earlier in the season when the fish are more cooperative.

We had the absolute best experience with Captain Josh! From the moment we stepped aboard, everything was top-notch - clean boat, professional, and an atmosphere that made us feel welcome and excited. He knew exactly where to go, and we were reeling in fish in no time! Not only did we catch more than we expected, but we also learned so much along the way. Captain Josh and his first mate Bandit went above and beyond to make sure everyone was comfortable and having a great time. If you're looking for a fun, safe, and successful day on the water, I highly recommend this charter. Whether you're a seasoned angler or a first-timer, this experience will exceed your expectations. Already looking forward to booking our next trip!
