The 2012 season has started off very well.  Our first trip of the season was a success.  We boated two Atlantic salmon and one 16lbs King Salmon.  One week later our first charter of the year showed great results.  We hooked up with 14 fish boating 8 of them.  5 Atlantic Salmon, 1 King @ 14 lbs and 2 Lake Trout.  Please visit our Facebook Page (Island Charters LLC)

July 26th

With the wind blowing hard from the west venturing out past the lighthouse was not a possiblity tonight.  We were able to fish in the river on the Drummond Island Side.  The night turned out to be amazing.  We boated 5 King Salmon, 3 Atlantic Salmon and 3 Lake Trout.  The largest King was 16lbs.  Detour could be one of the best ports on Lake Huron.  

July 19th, 20th and 21st

We ran an evening charter on Tuesday and Wednesday and a morning charter this morning.  Over these three trips we put 44 fish in the boat.  Three steelhead, three Atlantic Salmon and 38 lakers.  Wednesday two of the lakers were 31 and a half inches long. These fish just missed the 32 inch mark that would have allowed the clients to keep them as a trophy.  Fishing this good makes our time on the water enjoyable and makes us look forward to the next trip. 

July 1st and 3rd

The fishing continues to be amazing.  We boated 30 fish during the last two trips.  4 Kings, 6 Atlantics, 2 steelhead, and 18 lake trout.  The May Flys are hatching which makes the planner board fishing amazing.  1 - 7 color leadcore with anything orange or green behind them are working great.  We have a few openings in the next few weeks.  We would love to have you join us.  

Saturday June 25th and Sunday June 26th

The fishing really picked up over the weekend.  On Saturdays charter we boated eleven  fish.  Four Atlantic Salmon along with Seven Lake Trout.  Sundays trip was amazing.  Only running six poles we boated thirteen fish.  Eight Lake Trout, four Atlantic Salmon, and one nice King Salmon.  We have many trips over the weekend.  I will post another report on Monday or Tuesday.

Some Great Fishing In June

Well, we finally have been able to fish.  The weather has been good and the fish are biting well.  The last two charters we have boated at total of 18 fish.  Two Steelhead, 4 Atlantic Salmon, and 12 Lake Trout.  It is very nice to be on the water and finally boating some fish.

This Spring has been tough.

This season has started by canceling our first three charters.  The St. Marys river is full of mud and has made fishing very difficult.  Lake Huron continues to be very cold which makes the fish lethargic.  It looks like a late week warm up is going to happen and the forecast for this week is free of rain.  Maybe by Saturday things will look up.
