Are you wondering “Why Coach’s Angle”?
Well, what sets us apart from the competition are a few simple things:
#1. When you book the Coach you fish with the Coach–not passed on to someone else.
#2. We do not overfish our areas and we are constantly locating new fish.
#3. We try to schedule you at the time of year that maximizes your desired fishing style (jerkbait, finesse, topwater, etc.).
#4. We use only high quality tackle from local Michigan tackle companies that know how to make lures that catch fish on Michigan’s ultra clear waters as well as top national brands as needed.
#5. We customize each days fishing hours to take into consideration the weather forecast and your schedule.
#6. We welcome ALL skill levels from first timers to retired national pros .
#7. We also offer family discounts as well as multiple-day discounts.
If you have additional questions, talk to Coach by texting, calling or emailing.

After two days of sluggish fish the smallies became aggressive today.
Father and son had a big day with good numbers and some quality brown fish. Round 2 tomorrow…
I appreciate the quick delivery of the Quiet Cove Zeps.

Several cold nights seem to have pushed one food source deeper and another to the surface. Roaming bass have required us to visit several different areas.
We worked extremely hard for these fish while many others were small.
We could use some southerly wind….

With more wind than expected the smallmouth were aggressive off and on.
Good fishermen negotiated the wind and waves to get fish up to 5.70 lbs. Another fun day…

Someone must have posted that the salmon were arriving…
All the launchers were friendly, cooperative and excited.
I appeared to be the only one in pursuit of smallmouth.
We only had a few hours but more fun stuff with good people.
