Experience Great Lakes Charter Fishing for Walleye, Salmon and Perch aboard Temptation Charters!

Captain Joe Pikulski has 22 years experience as a US Coast Guard Licensed Captain and 24 years experience on the Great Lakes. Michigan weather can produce rough conditions so; I will give customers the opportunity to postpone the trip if conditions are too bad to fish. We do fish in the rain, so if conditions call for cool or rainy weather, please bring appropriate clothing. I recommend bringing a pair of long pants with you in the summer in case of the black flies. On calm days the flies can be everywhere!

Our boat is a Sea Ray 30' Weekender. Things can get pretty intense while reeling in fish so; I selected this boat because of its wide beam. The 12' Beam makes room for two to four fishermen to be reeling in fish at the same time.

No need to worry, our boat is excellent for four to five foot waves. I do not recommend fishing in larger than five foot waves, but the boat has fished good in five to ten footers.

Our boat is fast powered by Twin 350 fuel injected Chevy engines it will get you to the fish quickly!
