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.

Did you know that's a weather station on the dock?

Merry Christmas!!

40" of snow in a week!?! Wow!
Today would be a perfect day to get on the perch we had located.
However, won’t be able to get my boat out for several days.
I did work on the ramp today and it’s ready to use. These warmer temps will help.

Thanks to those who have purchased charters for gifts!

If the weather holds true I will be there tomorrow

Happy Thanksgiving to friends and strangers alike!
Be thankful for all the little things–take nothing for granted.

I am very thankful for alot–too much to list.

But possibly spending my last Thanksgiving with the boys Yank and Duke. I will take them for as many walks as they want today.

God Bless
Coach

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.
