Lake Michigan Fishing Charters Boat Near A Lighthouse

When choosing a Lake Michigan fishing charter, there are many considerations that you must go through when deciding to hire a charter.


Things To Consider When Choosing A Fishing Charter

Price: Although price is a concern with every decision you make, going with the cheapest rarely ever pays off, especially when hiring a guide. Professional charters and guides put their name and reputation on the line every day and spare no expense in the boat, rods, reels, and tackle they use on a daily basis.

Location: Like any body of water there are different locations at different times that make certain ports better. Location is key this is why we move our boats to the south in the spring, as Winthrop Harbor, IL has consistently produced the highest catch rate on coho and steelhead for spring fishing than any other port for the month of May. Starting in June we move our vessels to our northern port of Algoma, WI as over the last 35 years has produced the highest catch rates on both steelhead and king salmon than any other port according to DNR records.

Boat size: Lake Michigan is a huge lake, choosing a large boat for your day excursion can make the difference in having a great trip or one that you would just as soon forget. The size and layout of your charter boat chosen will help you achieve the comfort level you expect. Safety is always a top priority at Kinn's every spring all our boats are inspected by US Coast Guard. Safety is no place to cut corners when choosing your guide.
