Welcome to Great Lakes Sportfishing with Andersen Charters fishing Lake Michigan from ArcadiaCaptEric@AndersenCharters.com
April- May

With the ice out and the smelt run starting, Spring time in Arcadia means its time for trophy brown trout fishing. Lake Trout season on Lake Michigan opens May 1.

June-July

The "DUSTER" heads far off-shore in June thru mid July to surface fish for steelhead. these silver torpedos are located in thermal bars that form a "scum line" due to warming water on the surface. The "scum line" is made up of terrestrial and rich fertile floating plant matter which make for a perfect snack for steelhead. The action can be fast. Doubles and triples are common. Although we target steelhead, chinook , lake trout and coho can often times mix themselves into our catch.

July-September

Mid July into September finds us trolling in depths of 50-200 feet in search of trophy King and coho salmon. Adult King salmon have the distinction when hooked to run very hard and fast. These fish can take up to 30 to 40 minutes to land on light tackle and can leave you with sore muscles and a life time of great memories.

October

In October the lake goes through a temperature transition due to the change to a Fall season. Steelhead move into the waters just off our harbors for good fishing, coho and chinook salmon also add to the catch.
