Fish With Jim Outfitters offers an exciting annual destination fishing trip to Drummond Island during the last two weeks of June. These limited seasonal trips focus primarily on trolling for hard-fighting Atlantic Salmon in the scenic waters surrounding Drummond Island and the Detour Passage area. This unique fishery also provides excellent opportunities to catch King Salmon, Steelhead, and Lake Trout throughout the trip.

Captain Jim Chamberlin uses proven trolling techniques, quality electronics, and custom-painted lures from 131 Custom Lures to consistently target active fish in this productive Great Lakes fishery. Anglers can expect to fish a variety of water depths and structure while covering large areas of water to locate feeding salmon and trout. Long lines, lead core, planer boards, downriggers, and diver presentations are commonly used to maximize success during these action-packed trips.

One of the highlights of fishing around Drummond Island is the incredible scenery and unique fishing environment. The area features crystal-clear water, rocky shorelines, island channels, passing freighters, and excellent salmon structure that creates ideal conditions for trolling. The late June timing often provides stable weather, active fish, and opportunities for multiple species during a single outing.

Trips are fully guided and include quality rods, reels, tackle, electronics, and proven fishing setups. Whether you are an experienced Great Lakes angler or trying Salmon trolling for the first time, Fish With Jim Outfitters provides a laid-back, educational, and productive experience for anglers of all skill levels.

Guests can meet Captain Jim at Fort Drummond Marina on Drummond Island, where free parking is available and the boat is easy to locate. Pickup is also available at the Detour DNR Boat Ramp for guests who prefer not to travel to the island. Advanced reservations are highly recommended for these limited annual trips.
