Coach's Angle Charters


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.

I saw you out there on Tues. I had the same results…great fish..

Shallow or deep or suspended–be prepared for anything. It all depends on the available food source.
6.24 was the biggest this week; several 4s but most were in the 3 lb range.
Note: The stronger-than-normal current seems to be a factor in food location.

The summer pattern ended right on schedule. More wind than needed but when we could fish…
The September pattern is in full swing and that will continue to be a treat.
Hope you can join us.

The summer method is coming to an end for 2024. We are officially in the September pattern–I love this method too!
A windy week that tested our equipment–especially the bilge pumps. They worked just fine.

A busy week with old friends and new found our fish beginning to transition. We caught most of them in our summer pattern and a few in our fall pattern.
As always we are following the food and big movements are beginning.
Thanks to this week’s fishermen–good people and good fish.
A full moon is on the way and I hope bad weather doesn’t hinder…

Following one of the best new moons we’ve experienced it was expected that the frenzied bite would fade and return to normal.
Less than perfect winds required perfect presentations this week. Our friends adjusted and had numbers but only a couple fives were boated. The two to four pounders continued to show regularly. Best day this week was 45 smallies in six hours.
Fun days on the water.
