Book your next trip with Summer Skool Sportfishing and find out what makes the fishing in Montague so unique. With Captain Glenn at the helm, you're in knowledgeable and experienced hands.

Local species include King Salmon, Walleye, and more with any luck. Depending on the species you're after, you may find yourself light tackle fishing, trolling, jigging, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Any fish within the legal limit is yours to keep. Plus, you can have your catch cleaned. Now that's dinner!

Capt. Glenn welcomes children aboard, so the whole family can come and unplug for the day! 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 stomach!

You'll be casting lines from a 26' Pontoon that holds up to 6 passengers. It comes with downriggers, a fighting chair, and all the essentials. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. What's more, this vessel is wheelchair accessible. Rods, reels, and tackle are provided, 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. Before coming aboard, it may be required 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.

You can't go wrong when you bring sunglasses, a hat, sunblock (non-spray), and bottled water. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Go ahead and treat yourself to a day on the water with Summer Skool Sportfishing.

    Unforgettable Day on Lake Michigan with Summer Skool Sportfishing!

    5 Hour – Lake Michigan Salmon on August 16, 2025 • 5 adults

    We had an amazing time with Summer Skool Sportfishing out of Montague, MI! The captain and deck mate were incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole trip enjoyable for our family. The boat was clean and well maintained, and the weather couldn’t have been better. The fishing was outstanding—we started strong and finished strong with salmon and trout, which made it an exciting experience from beginning to end. Highly recommend Summer Skool Sportfishing to anyone looking for a great day on Lake Michigan!

    I very highly recommend Summer Skool Sportfishing!

    5 Hour – Lake Michigan Salmon - 3:30 PM on September 1, 2025 • 4 adults • 1 child

    Summer Skool Sportfishing captain Glen and first mate Tim were absolutely fantastic to go fishing with. They got us into some huge King and Coho salmon and we caught our limit while watching a beautiful lake Michigan sunset on their very nicely equipped boat. Captain Glen and Tim went above and beyond and we will be fishing with them again soon!

    Putting in work!

    5 Hour – Lake Michigan Salmon on August 24, 2024 • 2 adults

    Captain Glenn and his first mate worked their tails off to ensure that me and my wife had a comfortable, and enjoyable trip. The fish were hard to come by and other boats struggled as well, but our crew knew how to adapt. In the end we came away with 7 fish and a cooler full of fillets. Great job on utilizing their experience and dedication to satisfying their customers. Much appreciated and we will be back!

I have been fishing since I was 2 years old with my dad in our small boat for Bluegill and Walleye. Each year I had the opportunity to learn more. I then went to college to be a teacher, but my passion for fishing never stopped.
