Make the most of your time in the U.P. and go fishing with Sand Point Charters. Having logged many years on the Lake Superior waters, Captain Brian will show you a good time and may tell you all about them.

The fish in these waters include Lake Trout, Rainbow Trout (Steelhead), Salmon, Chinook Salmon, Brown Trout, Coho Salmon, and more, depending on the season. On these trips, you can expect to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.

Capt. Brian welcomes anglers of all ages, including kids, so get 'em offline and onto the water! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Also remember to bring snacks!

Capt. Brian operates a 30' KingFisher aluminum fishing boat with capacity for 6 passengers. It has downriggers, and all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, as well as lures.

You will need to get a local fishing license before 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 sunblock (non-spray), sunglasses, and bottled water. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is not allowed.

The click of a button is the only thing keeping you from a great day on the water with Sand Point Charters!

Early season fishing in cold water and cold air temperatures didn’t dampen the fishing bug in this young man with 2 species to show for it.
