Default charter boats on Lake michigan???

wrote:

I'm looking into a chartered boat of the coast of Wisonsin to do some
fishing.
However, the tours are too expensive. it's only for 1 to two people and it
costs 350 dollars for 1-4 people for 5 hours. Way too much.




off the coast of California, there are large non-chartered boats that
regularly
leave the coast for the day. It costs about $20 per person to take and that
includes the rental fee for the equipment and bait.


I believe the boats that go out off of the California coast are deep sea
fishing deals.
Big boats that carry alot of people. Once out at sea the boat stops and people
all drop there lines down into the water to catch fish. In Lake Michigan if you
are fishing for salmon, lake trout, etc. You need to troll lures behind the
boat. The boat doesn`t stop. These boats are limited to the amount of lines
that can be trolled behind the boat. Thus the number of people is limited.
That is why the price is higher on Lake Michigan.

Does anybody know if there is any large boats for smaller fees that anyone
can
get on that launch into Lake Michigan?



Yes there are larger boats for smaller fees
that launch in Lake Michigan but all are for
fishing for perch. Same concept as deep sea fishing in off the coast of Calif.
They go out and find a likely spot and stop. Everyone drops a line to catch
perch.
