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.

Thank you VETERANS!
All year long we appreciate you and your service.
Often, it takes this special day for us to express our appreciation.
Here’s hoping and praying for you to have the best possible day and best possible future.

We are back! Upgrading equipment is usually a February job for us but for several reasons we did it this fall.
We have had our inspections and are within a day or two of getting back to taking folks fishing.
Fishing hadn’t stopped but the guiding had.
I won’t take time now on any fish details but to say if winds allow us to fish big smallies and big perch are available.
I am saddened to find out my 14 year-old old Brittany has a heart issue and I am spending as much time as possible doing light exercise with him and his 15 year-old bro.
Hope you are well.

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.
