St. Joseph has a fish with your name on it, so let Fishful Thinking Charters help you catch it!

Depending on the season, you might hook into Salmon, Lake Trout, Brown Trout, Rainbow Trout (Steelhead), and anything else that bites.

On these trips, you can expect to troll using heavy tackle.

Trips with Fishful Thinking Charters are child-friendly, so the whole family can come and unplug for the day! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Feel free to bring your own snacks!

You'll be fishing aboard a 31' Sea Ray Amberjack sportfishing vessel with room for 6 passengers. It has downriggers, and all the essentials. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you.

You will 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.

You can't go wrong when you bring sunglasses, bottled water, and sunscreen (non-spray). If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

How often would you rather be fishing? Go on and turn that day dream into a reality, with Fishful Thinking Charters.
