Make an adventure out of your next trip in Leland and go fishing with Mariah Charters.

Rainbow Trout (Steelhead), Salmon, Brown Trout, Lake Trout, and more could be biting, depending on conditions.

You’ll target your catch by trolling, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Trips with Mariah Charters are great for kids, so go ahead and bring the whole family along! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Snacks are permitted onboard — bring your favorites to maintain your energy throughout the trip!

Your adventure begins aboard a 31’ Sportfishing with capacity for 6 passengers. It has downriggers, and everything else you need for a productive day on the water. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience. What’s more, this vessel is wheelchair accessible.

Rods, reels, and tackle are ready for you, as well as lures.

You might need to purchase a local fishing license before the trip. 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.

Don’t leave home without sunglasses, sunscreen (non-spray), and bottled water. If you’d like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Now’s the time to experience fishing in Leland for yourself, with Mariah Charters!

Mariah Bob is the most knowledgeable and experienced Charter Captain in Northern Michigan. From the on time departures to always catching a ton of great fish, Mariah always delivers - and today was no different. My family and I have booked with Bob for over 20 years and wouldn’t consider going out with anyone else.
