Action Heating Up for King Salmon & Lake Trout
As we move into mid-May, Lake Michigan’s west side is showing great signs of life. Anglers traveling from Detroit are finding it well worth the drive, especially to ports like Muskegon, White Lake, and Ludington. King Salmon have started staging in 50 to 120 feet of water, hitting well on flasher-fly combos and meat rigs trolled around 2.3 mph. Early mornings and late afternoons are producing the most consistent bites. Lake Trout remain steady on the bottom in 60 to 100 feet, especially on rocky structure and deeper shelves. Spoons and spin-n-glows behind dodgers are the go-to setup. Coho Salmon and Steelhead are also showing up in mixed bags, particularly in 40–60 feet of water with orange and UV-colored spoons. Surface temps are slowly climbing, and the bite is expected to ramp up heading into June. Stay tuned for weekly updates as the summer bite continues to build. For anglers heading out from Detroit, now is a prime time to plan your Lake Michigan charter trip for peak spring action.

Ratings & Reviews Summary
August 28, 2025
Captain Glenn Spaulding was able to put us on fish and provide us with with a great experience on the water. His Angler Quest pontoon is the most comfortable big lake fishing vessel I’ve been aboard and there is plenty of room. Glenn constantly works hard changing tactics to do his best as getting you hooked up with some of these big water fish. On our trip all 6 of us were able to land fish, one of which was a master angler Chinook salmon and a steelhead that was 1/4” shy of a master angler. I highly recommend rounding up some family or friends and booking a trip with Summer Skool Sportfishing, you won’t regret it.

If you're considering a fishing adventure, Captain Glenn should be your first choice! He's incredibly knowledgeable, especially when it comes to walleye fishing. Captain Glenn knew exactly where to bring us to hook up on fish, and we spent the day reeling them in one after another. His pontoon boat is extremely spacious too, so our group of four had plenty of space to enjoy the day without feeling crammed. Beyond the great fishing, Captain Glenn is such a pleasure to spend the day with. His easy-going nature keeps everyone relaxed and his sense of humor kept us all in good spirits. We can't wait to go out with him again. If you want a fishing trip that's as enjoyable as it is fruitful, Captain Glenn is your guy. I highly recommend him!

We checked the wind forecast that morning to ensure a perfect day on the water, and it paid off. We had a fantastic time, caught some good fish, and learned a lot from Captain Glenn!

We had a great time, although the fish were elusive and not biting. The crew was amazing, and despite my wife being six months pregnant, they made us feel very welcome.
August 28, 2025
What a fantastic trip! It was an amazing experience to reel in four salmon in a row.
August 28, 2025
Top notch all the way around! Captain Glenn has an outstanding and comfortable fishing platform, he is super knowledgeable in what he is doing. It is evident that he enjoys sharing his knowledge and passion for fishing with his customers. Highly recommended and we will be back!
