FAQ

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS



Question - What should we bring for our charter?

Bring enough clothing to be comfortable. A good pair of deck shoes (no dark soles please) is a good safety tip. Plan on bringing a cooler to leave in your vehicle for your catch. Your fish will be cleaned and bagged and ice is available. Bring enough water or non-alcoholic beverages to stay well hydrated and don’t forget your sunglasses and sunscreen. All persons 17 or older will need a Michigan all species fishing license.

Annual and day licenses are available at local sporting stores and bait shops.


Question - How many fish can we keep?

The limit on Great Lakes salmon and trout combined is 5 per person, but no more than 3 of any one species. All salmon (either Coho or Chinook) count toward the 3 fish allowed for each angler in the salmon grouping. We have 3 species of trout in Lake Michigan: Brown, Steelhead and Lake Trout.
