Adult King Salmon Migrate
to the
St. Joseph Michigan Harbor Area to Stage
for the October Spawning Run!!
|
|
The Michigan DNR & Private Sport Clubs
plant over 300,000 King Salmon in the St Joseph River System each
year. When these fish mature
at 4yrs old, they return to their “River of Origin” to
Spawn & Die. Michigan DNR estimate 14% of all planted Kings are
harvested by Fishermen.
This means as the Summer Days become shorter,
and the October Run approaches the Adult King Salmon's Biological
Clock compels them to migrate to the St. Joseph Harbor/River Area.
Thousands of these Exciting Sport Fish will be within Fishing Proximity
throughout August.
Large
schools of Skamania Steelhead mill about, and Lake Trout are frequently
taken.

We
caught this fine Catch of 4yr old Adult King Salmon
at the St. Joesph, Michigan Pier Head. Conditions were just right. |

“Fishing with Capt. Russ
is better than other Charters because: His boat is in
Tip Top Shape. It’s Clean, Large, Very Comfortable,
and has all the latest High Tech Gizmos. He uses only
the Best Tackle which everyone that Fishes with him gets
to use. He simply has the Best Collection of Lures and
Equipment on the Lake. |
He gets everyone involved. You
don’t just sit around and wait. You’re part
of the Fishing, whether Setting out the Rods, Driving
the boat, or Raiding his Cookie Jar. It doesn’t
matter who or how old you are, you’re involved
in the Day’s Fishing. |
| No-One works harder. He wants his
Clients to Catch Fish and have Fun doing it. It’s
his Passion. I’m an OLD ANGLER myself, and he is
Simply the Best.” |

Nice
Mixed Bag Catch of King Salmon,
Skamania Steelhead, and Lake Trout!! caught while Charter Fishing Lake Michigan. |

Chad
Wiegand, his Dad, and 2 Buddies
went Fishing for One of Chad’s Bachelor
Parties. These Guys were Tons of Fun!! Lake Michigan Charter Fishing was good. Each Angler is holding a nice Adult King Salmon. |
 |
This “Skamania” Steelhead
Hit so Hard it snapped the 8’3” Ugly Stick. It
was this young man’s turn so in a snap I grabbed a 13/16
Wrench and some Blue Electrical Tape, and patched that Rod
well enough for this Young Angler to catch his Fish. |
 |
Lavon and the Guys caught a few 4 yr old King Salmon, several
nice 3yr old King Salmon, nice Lake Trout
and also this Beautiful “Lake Michigan Skamania Steelhead”.Lake Michigan Salmon Fishing Charters are a Great Outing for Employers
and their Employees or Clients. You just don’t get
the same satisfaction from a Good Putt that you get
from Catching Trout and Salmon Like These. Or laughing about
the One That Got Away. The friendship
you build and the memories Last all Through the Year.

August on Lake Michigan Salmon Fishing Charters generally have Calm Seas, Reliable Trout and Salmon
Fishing, Warm Water
|
|
August is a Great Time to Charter Fish on Lake Michigan. I
tell everyone, “August
is the Best Time to Go if you want Calm Seas,
Warm Water, and Good Reliable Trout and Salmon Fishing.” You’ve
heard of the “Dog Days of Summer” well that's August.
Very seldom does the Wind Blow Hard. Lake
Michigan is Fishable about 95% of the time.
The Water has warmed to 75-80degrees on
the surface. Silver Beach at St. Joseph, Michigan is packed with Families
enjoying a day at the Beach. The City of St.
Joseph, Michigan features many Craft Shows, and Outdoor Concerts in the Park.
There are 2 Outdoor Band Shells. One on the Bluff overlooking the
Lake, and one near the Pier Head along side the St. Joseph River. It
really is a Great Place for a Summer “Mini Vacation.”
Lake Michigan Trout and Salmon Charter Fishing
is Absolutely Reliable. The Environment on the Deep Break
in 85-135’ of
water is fully developed. Huge schools of Alewives live there all
the time now, and the King Salmon, Coho Salmon, Steelhead, and Lake Trout “Which Don’t Stray Far From
the Dinner Table” are
nearby. I’m Charter Fishing there Every Day and quit often twice morning and afternoon. I
know “Where Their
At” and “What
They Want.”
As a Bonus, the Adult 4yr Old Adult King Salmon are beginning
to Stage near the St. Joseph, Michigan Pier Head for their Fall Spawning Run
up the St. Joseph River. At some point from the 15th through
the 31st of August these Kings will Stage at the Pier Head by the
Thousands. If you’re
lucky enough to be here “Salmon Charter Fishing is Absolutely
Amazing!”
If conditions are right once they show up, they’ll
be at the Pier Head through September. As long as the River stays
warm. 65 degrees or higher the Adult King Salmon don’t want to Run Up the St. Joseph River.
They’ll
stay in the Stained River Water that sets up around the St. Joseph Pier Head
in Lake Michigan. We Troll in and around this
Stained Water and just Beat Them Up!! FISH
ON!!!
