- Jigging/Casting - Trout & Cisco



On this light tackle/hands-on fishing trip, we'll be cruising around the beautiful Grand Traverse Bay looking for lake trout & cisco. In May and June we look towards the shoreline and shallow reefs holding fish by casting and retrieving jigs or blade baits back to the boat. Then once the water warms, fish will then push put to deep water/reefs for the remainder of summer. At that point we will begin our vertical jigging charters and what a riot this tactic is!Price for up to 2 peopleUS $650 - Half day Jigging on the Bays


This trip is set up for a morning or evening of jigging on East or West Grand Traverse Bay. This is all rod in hand fishing (Jigging) for Lake Trout, with numerous bycatch opportunities. We utilize forward facing sonar (livescope) to make sure the fishing is engaging and consistent enough for all ages and levels of angler. This trip is great for a family looking to get out and catch a few fish on a sunset cruise, or for the more serious angler who wants to keep their rod constantly bent.Price for up to 2 peopleUS $550 - Angler's Choice6 Hour Trip – Lake Superior

Amazing fishing trip!
We had such a great time fishing with Tyler. With it being our first time, Tyler gave us confidence by teaching us the set up, and what was required to reel in the fish. We ended up with a cooler full of filets!! Definitely a MUST try Lake Michigan experience. Would highly recommend Tyler!!

A great experience of a family
We booked this trip in the weekend of 1st Oct. The weather was great. Captain was very friendly and helpful. We had non experience in fishing before. With his help we caught 12 fish including 9 ciscos and 3 trouts. He is also very kind to answer a lot of our questions and share his stories with us. We had a very nice experience and would definitely strong recommend this trip to everyone.

About Lake Whitefish fishing
Lake Whitefish are prized for their clean flavor and steady action on light tackle. These Salmon family fish school in cool, clear lakes and offer a fun challenge without harsh fights. Lake Whitefish fishing draws food-minded anglers and anyone who enjoys precise, patient fishing.
You will often target them with light spinning gear and tiny presentations. Small jigs, in-line spinners, and fluttering spoons work well. During insect hatches, fly fishing with simple nymphs can be very effective. In deeper water, try subtle bottom fishing with small hooks and delicate baits where allowed. Use thin fluorocarbon leaders and watch for soft bites.
Expect a relaxed, finesse-focused trip that rewards careful technique. Guides and anglers watch sonar for schools near drop-offs, shoals, and reefs. Early mornings and late afternoons can be productive. Winter ice fishing can also be excellent with micro jigs and gentle lifts. This is a great choice for families, beginners, and anyone who likes steady catch rates. Pack layers, polarized sunglasses, sunscreen, and a compact tackle box. Bring a cooler if you plan to keep fish, where regulations allow.
Before you go, check local rules. Confirm your fishing license or permit needs, open seasons, and harvest regulations. Review size and bag limits, bait restrictions, and any gear or area closures. Clean and dry your gear to prevent the spread of invasive species.
