KIMAR'S CHARTERS
Longest-serving & most-experienced
fishing charter in Michigan's Upper Peninsula!
GUIDELINES >>
Lake Superior Fish
Lake Superior's original "alpha" is the Lake Trout. The majority of our catch consists of these native fish, as they prefer the chilly depths of Superior. These trout can live over 25 years - the state record is 61 lbs! Our catches range from 3-30 lb. Our largest fish caught weighed 38 lbs 7 oz and briefly held the state record.
In the early season when the water is colder, we can catch coho and king salmon. When cleaned and cooked properly, our lean trout are some of the best tasting fish. We're more than happy to share our tips on cooking them!
Rules & Regulations
As regulated by the Coast Guard, we are allowed to take up to 6 anglers on the boat. Your crew will have the entire boat; we do not combine groups. Anyone who boards the boat is part of the count, regardless of age or whether or not he/she fishes, and is required to pay. The Michigan DNR limits your catch to 5 fish per person for local trips and 1 fish per person on the offshore trips. A one day fishing license may be purchased at local gas stations and convenience stores, or online at the DNR website.
Fishing Season & Weather
The Upper Peninsula's weather is unpredictable. Generally, the charter season begins in late April and runs through mid October. We recommend that full day trips to Stannard Rock and the Big Reef be reserved in advance to guarantee the best dates for fishing!
Deposits are 100% refundable due to inclement weather. We can fish in the rain and waves up to 1-2 feet, but we do not fish in thunderstorms or high seas to ensure your safety and comfort.
