Trophy Fish Caught

The St. Marys River system continues to cement its reputation as a premier destination for landing trophy fish. Recent reports from our Sault Ste. Marie fishing charter highlight impressive numbers of heavy-bodied walleye and robust northern pike being brought to the boat. While our region doesn't host tropical fish, the diversity of our cold-water ecosystem—from prehistoric-looking lake sturgeon to the powerful Atlantic salmon—offers a unique challenge for any angler. We monitor real-time water temperatures and baitfish migrations to ensure our guests are positioned over the most productive structures from the Soo Locks to the DeTour passage.

Family-Friendly Fishing Adventures

We believe that some of the best memories are made on the water, which is why we specialize in family-friendly fishing excursions. Our trips are designed with safety as the top priority, utilizing a stable 21-foot Ranger boat that is perfect for young children and seniors alike. Captain Harold provides a patient, easy-going environment where kids ten and under fish for free, learning the basics of casting and reeling in a fun, pressure-free setting. These adventures are less about technical grinding and more about the joy of the catch, ensuring that everyone from the youngest novice to the family patriarch leaves the dock with a smile.

Fishing Year-Round in Sault Ste. Marie, MI

Our commitment to the river allows us to offer insight into fishing year-round, adapting our tactics as the seasons shift in the Upper Peninsula. The spring months are dominated by the legendary walleye run, while summer brings fast-paced action for smallmouth bass and yellow perch. As the water cools in the fall, we transition our focus to the hard-fighting salmon and trophy-class pike that inhabit the river’s deeper reaches. No matter the month, Gone Phishing remains a reliable service for those seeking the most current local knowledge and consistent results.
