Munising Fishing Charters

Fishing for Lake Trout and Salmon in Munising, Michigan Munising, Michigan, on the southern shore of Lake Superior, is a prime destination for anglers targeting lake trout and salmon. Known for its clear waters and productive fisheries, the area provides excellent opportunities to fish using jigging and trolling techniques. Fishing in Munising combines access to productive fisheries with a scenic setting. The backdrop of Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore and the quiet waters of Munising Bay make this a standout location for anglers. March – June: Spring Nearshore Fishing As soon as the ice clears, the nearshore waters around Munising become productive for lake trout, salmon, and splake. During this time, cooler water temperatures concentrate fish in shallow areas, making them accessible with both jigging and trolling techniques. This season offers consistent action and a great opportunity to target multiple species in one outing. July – September: Summer Deep-Water Lake Trout During the summer months, lake trout move to deeper water as temperatures rise. From July through September, we focus on trolling to reach these fish, using downriggers and dipsy divers to get lures into the strike zone. Summer fishing in Munising provides steady opportunities to target these fish, making it the most active part of the season. Munising’s central location on Lake Superior makes it an excellent starting point for broader Great Lakes adventures. Consider extending your trip to explore other fishing and sightseeing opportunities at destinations like Isle Royale, the Apostle Islands, or Door County.
