If you're going to cast a line in Hessel, look no further than Les Cheneaux Fishing Charter. Having logged many hours on these waters, Captain Todd knows them well!

These waters are known for Smallmouth Bass, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Walleye, Yellow Perch, and more – with any luck, you'll find out for yourself!

On the day of your trip you're likely to cast, jig, use top water and much more using everything from light tackle to heavy tackle for pulling fish out of heavy vegetation.

If you're traveling with the family, you will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. Also remember to bring snacks!

Capt. Todd will bring you aboard a 21' Ranger bass boat with capacity for 4-5 passengers. Children are welcome!! For more members of the group contact Todd with any and all questions, if booking with children contact Todd direct for all details. The boat comes with all the essentials for a successful trip. Your captain will provide rods and reels, along with lures. Live bait is available, but on a limited basis for seasonal trips.

Before coming aboard, you will need to buy a Michigan fishing license for everyone in your group. This can be done online, or you can ask the captain for local in-store options.

A few items to bring include sunglasses, a hat, sunblock (non-spray), and drinks. Alcohol is not allowed.

Your trip with Les Cheneaux Fishing Charter is just a click away. We look forward to seeing you on the water!
