Book your next trip with Finn Harbor Guide Service and find out what the fishing in Whitehall is all about. With Captain Julian at the helm, you're in knowledgeable and experienced hands.

These waters are known for Northern Pike, Rainbow Trout (Steelhead), Smallmouth Bass, Chinook Salmon, Walleye, and more – with any luck, you'll have tight lines in no time. You can expect to do some light tackle fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Your boat for the day is a 17' Lowe jet boat that holds up to 2 passengers. It has all the essentials. Rods, reels, and tackle are ready for you, along with lures. Live bait is on offer, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

You will need to buy 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.

Don't leave home without sunblock (non-spray), a hat, bottled water, and sunglasses. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Give yourself something to look forward to and book a trip with Finn Harbor Guide Service!

I have lived and fished in Michigan my entire life. Fishing for Great Lakes migratory species is my passion. Over the last 15 years I have chased salmon and steelhead from Lake Michigan to the rivers relentlessly. Come join me for a day on the water and I will show you all the things that make this one of the best freshwater fishing destinations in the world.
