Dan Smith shows us a really nice Salmon he caught. How about that sunset?

More Salmon action as Tom Plough, from TC wins the battle with this nice King. Spectacular sunrise too!

Heather and Tom pose to a perfect sunrise on West Bay. The break was needed after just reeling in 4 big salmon.

This beautiful 18lb female salmon was caught by Lindy while practicing for the female division of the Salmon Classic this weekend. Look out ladies.

Its always nice when the first salmon hits the deck before the sun even peaks over the hill. Nice work Woody!
Great Catch of late august Salmon.
(L-R) Joe, Brian, Alex, and Mike smile big with their trophies.

After the heavy thunder storms on Saturday, the Salmon bite didn't happen Sunday. Cam and Sam found a hot bite of Lake Trout however. Sam shows us 2 Lake Trout caught on 1 rod at the same time by Joe Stevens, from Traverse City. We ended the day with 13 Trout.

The morning of august 15th started out unbeatable when these four salmon all struck at once. Catching a quad of 4yr. King Salmon is very challenging, and rare. Left to right. Father Brian, son Cullen, wife Denise, and youngest son Ian Hold up their victory trophies. Beautiful Job.


Kate and her Dad came from Texas and she reeled this fine Trout to the boat with help from Dad. He caught a 15 pound Salmon earlier in the morning.

Frank is pretty relaxed while fighting a Trout on another spectacular afternoon on West Grand Traverse Bay. Hey Frank, don't forget our Blue Angel date in 2010!
email from Karen (Frank's daughter) Cam, The whole group could not stop talking about our fishing trip and had nothing but praise for you and Sam! I can't imagine going out with any other charter. As soon as I can coordinate a day off in September, I'll give you a call for Salmon fishing. Congrats again to Sam!! Karen

Its very important to be as gentle as possible with these fragile lake trout. This one just makes the cut.

Mr. Henry Wise and I, holding this perfect slot limit laker.

An early August special. Rick with his beautiful 14lb Salmon. "Nice work partner."

The Perfect afternoon "Double" 17 lb king and a 25 " Lake trout. Great team work Bill and Grant, and of course your driving Bret.

My "side kick" Grant. Showing of this mature Lake Trout. This fish was released unharmed due to gentle handling.
