Mega Bite Charters is your ticket to the stunning waters of Traverse City.

Depending on conditions, you might hook into Lake Trout, Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon, and plenty more. On these trips, it's common to jig or troll using light tackle.

Looking to get the whole family outdoors? Kids are absolutely welcome! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Also, remember to bring snacks so that nobody gets cranky on an empty belly!

Your day begins aboard a 22' Yar-Craft performance fishing vessel with room for 4 passengers. It comes with downriggers and everything else you need for a productive day on the water. Capt. Adam will provide rods and reels for you, as well as lures.

Before coming aboard, you may need to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. 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.

It's always wise to bring a hat, sunglasses, bottled water, and sunblock (non-spray). Drinks will be available for you. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Now, time to hit the water with Mega Bite Charters!
