About Michigan Salmon Fishing
Each year, thousands of enormous salmon are present in Lake Michigan, and mid- to late-summer and fall are the best seasons to target them. Mature salmon move closer to shore before making their run into the same Michigan tributary rivers in which they hatched. As their numbers increase nearer to shore in the early fall, large numbers of salmon can be found cruising in Michigan's coastal waters entering many ports, bays and connecting lakes along the coast. Grand Traverse Bays and Platte Bays are two areas where Sport Fish Michigan targets salmon as they are staging, getting ready to run up their natal rivers. It is the areas where the salmon will congregate in these staging grounds that produce the best for the vertical jigging technique.
Sport Fish Michigan's Captains and Guides know how, when, and where to find salmon. Their expertise, coupled with the state-of-the-art Humminbird electronics and Minn Kota trolling motors aboard our fleet of charter fishing boats, take all the guesswork out of salmon fishing - ensuring that you'll have a fun day vertical jigging for salmon! Let one of Sport Fish Michigan's experienced Captains be your guide for this productive and action-packed way to target Lake Michigan salmon.
