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. 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 or
online from the Michigan DNR website
(see our Site Resources page for a link).


Question - How many fish can we keep?

The limit is 5 fish per person. This year an angler may keep 5 salmon (either Coho or Chinook or any combination thereof). A mixed bag limit may include steelhead, brown trout or lake trout to make a 5 fish limit per person, but no more than 3 fish in any species other than salmon.

Saugatuck is located on the West coast of Lake Michigan roughly 75 miles North of the Michigan border. We are approximately a one hour drive from Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo and Grand Haven.
