Specializing in Salmon and Lake Trout fishing in the waters near Mackinac Island, Les Cheneaux, and the DeTour passage! Join Island Charters for a memorable experience you won’t soon forget!
Chinook Salmon, Lake Trout, Atlantic Salmon, Coho Salmon, Pink Salmon, and Steelhead inhabit these waters! On these trips, it’s common to troll using light or heavy tackle. Capt. Greg of Island Charters also offers fly fishing and casting trips for Pike and Smallmouth Bass.
Thinking of bringing the whole family? Kids are absolutely welcome! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise, you should bring your own. Also, remember to bring snacks so that nobody gets cranky on an empty belly!
Capt. Greg operates a 25’ Sportcraft offshore sport fishing boat with space for 6 passengers. It comes with downriggers and all the essentials. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience. Your captain will provide rods and reels, as well as lures and everything else you would need to land the trophy fish!
You’ll have the help of a First Mate to put you on fish. It’s customary to tip the Mate 10–20% to show your appreciation.
Before coming aboard, you will 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 might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect. It’s never a bad idea to bring sunglasses, a hat, sunblock (non-spray), and bottled water. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
Give yourself something to look forward to and book a trip with Island Charters!

Half Day Trip – Pike/Bass (AM)
The water was pretty rough for our fishing trip this morning, but Greg and Cari made it worthwhile! There was 4 of us fishing and we each caught 2 fish, with the "probable" record smallest fish of the season. LOL! We had a great time and we would definitely, 100% fishing with them again. We really appreciated all the effort they put in to get us on some fish ! Thank you guys, we'll be back again someday!!

We had a great fishing trip with Capt. Greg at Island Charters. Capt. Greg was helpful in every way and we got lots of large Lake Trout. He went out of his way to make this a good experience and we would recommend him to anyone, especially families and not very experienced fisherman. Thanks, Carolyn, Bill and KC

Half Day Trip – Salmon/Trout (AM)
Captain Greg and Jeff were great. They got us to the trolling area quickly and had the lines in before we knew it. Had the first lake trout in before all the lines were out. Greg did a fantastic job rigging the six lines and netting the fish. Kept or released 17 nice lake trout in just over 3 hours. I've fished all over the world and would rate them among the best I've worked with. Their enthusiasm and humor made for a great morning.

Greg was an amazing captain and guide. We started off the morning with back to back catches for all three of us. Greg was so nice and great to talk to. We kept getting a few more trout before we hit a bit of a break period, but within 20 minutes all three of us had a fish on at the same time!

Captain, boat and equipment were great. Greg put us on fish right away and we caught our limit of lake trout in no time. Great interaction and good communication on where and when the best time to fish. Great trip thank you!!!
