Reel 'Em In: 7 Saint Joseph Area Fishing Charters

One thing our real estate agents love to do—when not showing off beautiful Saint Joseph cottages, homes, and condominiums to prospective buyers—is fish. They recommend these seven great fishing charters out of the Riviera of the Midwest. Bring a Michigan fishing license, the right attire, and a zest for fishing. Leave the rest to the capable captains!

1. Dustin's Dream Fishing Charter, 602 Fisherman's Road, Saint Joseph
   Cruising out in a Tiara 33 Open, you and five of your friends, family members, or business associates can spend an exciting seven hours on Lake Michigan with Dustin's Dream Fishing Charter.
   
   Dustin's is noted for family-friendly fishing, using a well-equipped, safe boat featuring sonars, autopilot, chart-plotter, and a 36-mile radar sweep. 
   
   
2. Originator Sport Fishing Charters, 250 Anchors Way, Saint Joseph
   Come aboard Originator Sport Fishing's a 36-foot Tiara with a hard top and a 14-foot beam to satisfy your craving for Coho Salmon and Rainbow Steelhead. You can also try your hand at King Salmon, Lake Trout, and Brown Trout. 
   
   If you want to stay away from Lake Michigan, consider Originator's river fishing, in a 26-foot fully enclosed, heated riverboat cruising the St. Joe River.
   
   
3. Sea Hawk Sport Fishing Charters, 5841 Longhorn Trail, Stevensville
   With Sea Hawk Sport Fishing Charters, you can enjoy the opportunity to take your full 30-Salmon limit in a one-day trip, or opt for the two-day fishing package that includes hotel and breakfast. If you've been looking for Stevensville homes for sale, this is the perfect break for you and your family or friends in the area.
   
   Sea Hawk is a 36-foot Tiara with a 14-foot beam. The Sea Hawk features Raytheon electronics:  autopilot, GPS, radar, fish locator and graph, speed and temperature, and more.
   
   
4. SeaCrete Charters, 602 Fishermans Road, Saint Joseph
   Half-day or full-day fishing trips are available for up to six, riding SeaCrete's 31-foot Tiara under the capable supervision of Captain Chris Rose. Try for Lake Perch, Chinook or Coho Salmon, Brown Trout, or Steelhead.
   
   With SeaCrete Charters, you can tap into special charter rates and reduced hotel stays at The Inn at Harbor Shores.
   
   
5. Captain Hook's Sportfishing, 220 Anchors Way, Saint Joseph
   Captain Hook's Sportfishing is under the capable and experienced eye of Captain Dale Ender.
   
   You can choose a private charter for Salmon or Perch aboard the 38-foot Trojan Express with a 14-foot beam. Or take a charter up the St. Joe river, aboard Captain Hook's 24-foot tritoon.
   
   
6. Big Bird Charters, 143 Anchors Way, Slip 94, Saint Joseph
   No, not that Big Bird. Captain Jim Conder is Big Bird. Conder, condor—get it? You don't need to get it to enjoy Captain Jim's knowledge and experience on the Lake. Go for either the five-hour or seven-hour (or up to your limit) charter.
   
   Big Bird Charters runs with a 34-foot SeaRay 340 Express Cruiser with comfortable accommodations for up to six.
   
   
7. My Mistress Charters, 602 Fisherman's Road, Saint Joseph
   Take My Mistress, a 30-foot Sea Ray, out onto Lake Michigan for a fun-filled day of fishing. Captain Mel LaFrance has equipped My Mistress Charters with all the electronic gadgetry needed for a fast, accurate trip to the best fish on the lake. 
   
   Captain Mel offers a no-fish, no-fee guarantee, and has a 15 percent discount with the local Red Roof Inn for multiple days of fishing fun. 

Rather than book into a hotel to enjoy the sports fishing in Saint Joseph, consider all the Saint Joseph homes for sale. Why make the lake a vacation destination when you could live here?

When you contact us at Cressy & Everett Real Estate, you'll have knowledgeable agents working for you, local folk who also know a thing or two about fishing.
