Fishing so Good, it’ll Make Lake Michigan Jealous.

Saugatuck’s Only Inshore Fishing Charter

On this trip, we head upriver in pursuit of North America’s most popular gamefish, the largemouth bass. This is a hands-on experience where you will be casting artificial lures to these hard-fighting fish.

 

Not an experienced angler? No problem, we like to share our knowledge and will have you casting like a pro in no time. Other species commonly caught on this trip include smallmouth bass, northern pike, and walleye. Although the hottest bite is often in the morning, this trip is flexible and can be adjusted to fit your schedule.
