Port Captain Bill Myers Reports From Gladstone in the UP Cold front moving through,last two days were a little slow. Walleye were pushed to the south end of the bay. The best depth of water seem to be 15 to 18 feet on crank baits. The Larson family came to Escanaba to try their hand at a little walleye fishing. After two days of strong north winds at 10 to 20 mph, a cold front sliding through, and no other boats on the lake, it did not look very promising! However, they did manage to put some nice walleye and a brown in the box. … [Read more...]

Port Captain Bill Myers reports from the UP in Gladstone. Walleye season open May 15 and since then we had rain, fog, Highwinds, and on May 20 we even had snow! So if you pick the right day you could catch some fish. Mainly they're finding the walleye in 8 to 10 ft of water using crank baits and spinners. Here's the Roberts family! When the Roberts family called and asked to go on a fishing charter, I said we could go but the weather was not very favorable. 100% chance of rain, 1/2 mile visibility, and 15 mile per hour winds but they didn't care! They arrived ready and willing to take on the challenge! It turned out to be a great day, on a great bay, with a great family!!! … [Read more...]

Port Captain Bill Myers from Deltadawn Charters Reports from Gladstone : Headed south out of Gladstone Harbor yesterday afternoon to the Bay of Green Bay for another walleye charter. We pulled crank baits over deep water points and humps.We had a hard time finding them but after some serious "fishing", here's proof that hard work really does pay off. They were thrilled with the walley they brought in and said "they never caught such nice fish!" Old Mother Nature wasn't very nice to us as it was cold and windy, but they came to the UP to enjoy it and fish regardless of the weather and that they most certainly did. … [Read more...]

Port Captain Bill Myers from Deltadawn Charters Reports from Gladstone : Back to the Bay of Green Bay for a walleye charter on Riley's15th birthday. It took a while to find them. We started out about 14 miles out and the waves got too big to fish so we ran southwest. We hit a few humps and found that the water was too clear so moved out to 25 to 30 ft. of water and pulled husky jerks. Here's a photo of Riley and his brother, Reggie, with their 25 & 26 inch Walleyes. Happy birthday, Riley, from Delta Dawn and MCBA. … [Read more...]

Port Captain Bill Myers from Deltadawn Charters Reports from Gladstone : It's a little late in the season here in the UP to say that things are hearing up. But, the water is finally warming up - just in time to cool down again for the fall and winter. Though the fishing has been getting better every day with the warmer water temperatures. On down riggers, the fish have been biting at depths of 40ft to 80ft in a 120ft water column. They've been hitting hard on spoons, flasher flies, and Cereal Killer meat rigs. It was a busy, beautiful weekend aboard the Delta Dawn. Good weather, great guests and even better fishing. I repositioned to Escanaba to take a group of guys from Detroit out who are up here working. They said bringing those big salmon in was harder work than what they were up here to do. After that, I made the run back to Manistique and got ready for an early morning charter with another father and sons team. They brought in some beautiful king salmon and … [Read more...]

Port Captain Bill Myers from Deltadawn Charters Reports from Gladstone : We accomplished it all today aboard the Delta Dawn; family time and a Cub Scouts merit badge. A nice family of four made their way to Manistique from Rockford, Illinois, so they could spend some quality family time here in the beautiful Upper Peninsula and their son could earn his Cub Scout merit bage for fishing. Thanks to Mother Nature and her blessing us with a HUGE mayfly hatch he had no trouble at all earning that badge. We started out losing ten nice ones and then managed to land 7 beauties and get them in the box - he'll have some great picture and memories to share with the rest of his group at their next meeting. The king where in 120ft to 140ft of water at 60ft to 70ft down. The steelies were hanging out in the upper water column at 15ft to 20ft down. … [Read more...]

Port Captain Bill Myers from Deltadawn Charters Reports from Gladstone : Another fantastic day aboard the Delta Dawn; four more guys from the Buckeye State fishing with me out of the Port of Manistique. They came to the U. P. for some father and son bonding time. Old Mother Nature gave us her blessing as we set sail in the beautiful waters of Lake Michigan with the first rays of a beautiful day coloring the horizon. The fishing started to get hot around 5am and they were still biting like crazy when we pulled our lines in at 11:00. We found them in 90ft of water between 30ft and 50ft down. It was one of those days when you no sooner got a fish in the boat that another one started taking line. Couldn't have asked for any better. … [Read more...]

Port Captain Bill Myers from Deltadawn Charters Reports from Gladstone : Four lucky fisherman, two from Pennsylvania and two from Ohio came to try their luck in the Upper Peninsula waters of Lake Michigan. It was a great day on the Delta Dawn; we sailed out of Manistique early this morning. They came to fish, and fish they did. Big guys and big fish add up to big fun. Late this morning we found fish in 144ft of water and they were 104ft down, which meant for a long haul fighting against some big fish to get them to surface. If those fish didn't want to break on their own these guys fought until they made it happen. Here's a picture of some happy fisherman and a sample of the days catch … [Read more...]

Port Captain Bill Myers from Deltadawn Charters Reports from Gladstone : Ran a couple of charters out of Manistique and had a mixed bag of fish. Nice Kings around 14 to 19 lbs., steelhead 8 to 10 lbs., and a bunch of lake trout. The kids like the lake trout because they could fight them all by themselves. All fish came in 70 ft. of water at 40ft. down. Great morning with Jeanne & John from Wi. They are big Green Bay Packer fans and happily caught these fish out of Escanaba in the Bay of Green Bay!!!!!! … [Read more...]

Tried 10 to 15 ft of water with no luck so we moved out to 18 to 25 ft and found some nice eyes pulling cranks. But best of all was the little guy and big cat-what a fight and fun to watch!!!!!! … [Read more...]
