Normally june is a tough month for salmon but so far this month we are still averaging 8-10 salmon a trip, which is making for wonderful fishing! We are fishing 70-100 ft top to bottom tons if bait is stacked inside 40 ft

Its a SALMON Frenzy!

Salmon fishing has been absolutely amazing this past week! With many limits being taken out of Whitehall Michigan, Salmon are being caught anywhere from 160-270 ft of water . The bait is big and magnum spoons are the ticket!

4 Hour Trip – Inland Fishing (AM)

Dave is a good, communicative guide. We did an inshore trip with him and caught several varieties of fish. He explained what to expect at each spot, and was a good coach. The water was warm, and Dave expected to catch more than we did, but we still had fun. If we caught as much as he expected, it would have been incredible.

Walleye PM trip

If you want to have a fun time jigging, then I recommend booking a trip jigging for Walleye with Dave. Dave took my buddy and me out for a PM trip, and it was perfect. We caught a few giants. I will continue to book more fishing trips with Dave. Dave coached us through it, and we learned a lot more about targeting Walleye.
