Perch Fishing on Lake Michigan
Remember, when choosing your charter the captain’s experience and accommodations are an important consideration in your final decision.
About the Boat
The boat is a 28’ Sportcraft Express. She is designed for a smooth, dry, comfortable ride on big water. She also is equipped with a hard top cockpit enclosure and cabin should the weather turn bad. The large fishing deck provides comfort for all anglers. The boat is equipped with a wash room, new color Lowrance electronics, marine radio, cellular phone and U.S.C.G. safety gear.
The 28-foot Sportcraft boat I use is the perfect size for up to 6 anglers to fish comfortable. The large deck area, private bathroom and a hard top cockpit enclosure make for a perfect day of fishing for jumbo perch on the Big Lake. This 28 foot Sportcraft is also small enough to conquer the tricky spots that perch like to dwell in for having a successful and fulfilling charter. This adventure is sure to hook you in for the perch fishery we have on southern Lake Michigan and make you want to come back for more! Captain Chuck experience on Lake Michigan makes him one of the most reputable perch fisherman on the lake. "We fish from the Illinois line to Indiana Dunes. I'm looking forward to educating you on the many ways to enjoy jumbo perch fishing on Lake Michigan for every season."
