Ted absolutely killed it! He put us on fish all morning and we had a great time. He’s efficient, gives clear direction, and does as much as he can to get you on fish and get them in the boat! 

Fantastic time!

Captain Ted was very accommodating and great with the kids (ages 9 & 11). 
The boat was a great size for our party of four, and we ended up landing some nice king salmon and lake trout. 

Great day on the lake. 

Captain Ted was bery knowledgeable, helpful, and fun!  We caught a bunch of big lake trout and will be eating fish for months!  Highly recommend!

Highlight of vacation!

Great guy we caught fish the whole time.  

Fun trip

If you want a life long memory and learning experience then this is the pick for you !!

Great memories and learning experience 

If you're eager to wet your line at the start of the year, test the waters of the St. Joe River for Walleye and Steelhead. Lake Michigan is usually still iced over!

You probably won't be out on Lake Michigan during this month, depending on weather conditions, but you can try your luck fishing the river. The average temperature at this time of year is 28°F, so be sure to bundle up!

It's getting busier out on the river, with Brown Trout making their entrance sometime in March. Walleye and Steelhead are still biting, and soon you'll be able to head out on the lake.

Spring has sprung! This month heralds the true start of St. Joseph's fishing season. In April, you can fish Lake Michigan for Salmon (Chinook and Coho), Steelhead, and Brown Trout.

Come May, Lake Michigan is teeming with Salmon, Brown Trout, and now Lake Trout too. You won't find Steelhead in the river at this time, but you can still fish for Walleye and Panfish.&nbsp;

Big Chinook Salmon and deepwater Steelhead are popular in the lake at this time. Keep an eye out for Skamania (summer-migrating Steelhead), too! They'll be making their way from Lake Michigan into the rivers.

By July, you'll be able to fish for almost anything in the lake, including King and Coho Salmon, Trout, Steelhead, and Perch. In the river you'll catch Walleye, Steelhead, Catfish, and Bass.

August is one of the hottest months of the year, with an average temperature of 70°F. The fishing is on fire, too, with your choice of Steelhead, Salmon, Lake Trout, and Perch in Lake Michigan.

The start of fall is your last chance to get out on the lake for what's left of the Chinook and Coho Salmon. These fish are now heading toward the rivers, where you'll also find Steelhead and Brown Trout.&nbsp;

If you missed your chance to get out on the lake, fear not &mdash;j ust head to the St. Joe River for Salmon, Trout, Steelhead, or Walleye.

The weather is growing colder, with an average temperature of 40°F. But don't let that stop you! There's still great fishing to be had in the river for Walleye, Steelhead, and Brown Trout.

Even in the dead of winter, the St. Joe rRver lives up to its excellent fishing reputation. Add a little angling to your holiday plans and come catch Steelhead, Walleye, or Brown Trout.&nbsp;
