There’s nothing like a leaping steelhead breaking water with flashing silver and a spotted square tail. If you haven’t tried it ask our Captain’s to give you the opportunity for this thrill. The size of these babies runs from 10 to 20 pounds. They are a breath taking experience to catch.

ATLANTIC SALMON (LANDLOCKED)

Both of these species are found along the shore line of our bays and a short ways off shores Northerns give us a great fight with light tackle, most averaging 10 pounds, full of vicious surges and runs and constantly trying to break our lines. walleye are probably the most delicious pan fish caught here! Trolling or jigging are the most favorite methods forcatching them. Walleyes average from 8 to 10 pounds with 12 to 14 pounders caught daily. On rough days in early summer and spring this is the most comfortable type of fishing close to shore and out of harms way.

Worms, minnows, or crawdads can be will make the youngest to the oldest angler into a happy fishing person. These scrappy fighters bite from morning to night just aboutt any place you drop an anchor. Smallmouth are common from within the Henderson area to as far west as the Ducks and as far south as the Sands.
