Our Fishing Adventures
MAY
May is one of our most diverse fishing months. There are several fishing scenarios that can present from shallow (less than 10 ft. of water) Brown Trout fishing to pulling on large Lake Trout in 100+ feet of water. Stumbling on the wiley early season Salmon is never out of the question this time of year either!
JUNE
June presents some of the best Lake Trout action we see all year. It is not rare to catch limits of these great eating fish during this month. A few years of consistent, NICE catches is earning mid to late June a good reputation for Kings as well. If the stars align, June also presents one of Capt. Dave’s favorite fishing opportunities… Offshore Steelhead Adventures! Cruising up to 20 miles offshore in up to 800 ft. of water to pull on feisty steelhead near the surface presents a rare opportunity to see these acrobatic fish in action! This fishery is not predictable and only happens when the water temperature breaks are perfect. (Will be offered if it is an option. There is a fuel surcharge for this trip
JULY
July is not only a month of GREAT weather, but also great fishing. Because most people know that August is a good month to catch big Kings, July often gets overlooked even though the fishing is fantastic. In fact, statistically, more Master Angler Salmon are taken in July than in August. We encourage guests to not overlook this great fishing month. The fresh salmon are here from Southern Lake Michigan and the Lake Trout are still fired up.
AUGUST
August is a very exciting month because of the relative location of the adult salmon. They are staging within several miles of the Frankfort Harbor along any of our many great underwater structures, in preparation for their run up the Betsie River. Early morning action can be second to none along with the “witching hour” just before sunset.
SEPTEMBER
Early September offers action very similar to late August with the addition of the possibility to target the Coho Salmon as they begin to stage to run the Platte River. Later in September we still see amazing fishing as we revert back to the younger salmon and sometimes the steelhead return. Again, a month not to be overlooked.
