St. Clair Shores has a fish with your name on it, so let Optimistic Fishing Charters help you catch it!

Bass, Walleye, Perch, Northern Pike, Muskellunge (Musky), and more inhabit these waters. Depending on the species you’re after, you may find yourself light tackle fishing, trolling, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Any fish within the legal limit are yours to keep.

Families who love fishing together will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. You're welcome to bring snacks so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty belly!

Capt. Jim runs a 27' Tiara sportfishing vessel with space for 5 passengers. It comes with everything you need for a productive day on the water. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Your captain will provide rods and reels, along with lures. Live bait is included, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

Before coming aboard, it will be necessary 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.

A few items to bring include sunglasses, a hat, sunscreen (non-spray), and bottled water. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
