Fishing Charters, Fishing Supplies, Sunset and Sightseeing Charters
In accordance with Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services’ recommendations designed to help prevent the spread of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) and the governor’s Executive Order 2020-21, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources has determined that charter and fishing guide operations that involve boats, canoes and other marine vessels are not currently permitted.
Lake Michigan provides some of the best sport fishing in the country. The southern lake basin off the coast of New Buffalo is well known for its jumbo perch, freshwater drum, steelhead, coho salmon, chinook salmon, Brown trout and lake trout. The Galien River expands the fishing to include Rainbow Trout, Walleye, Pike, Large and Small Mouth Bass, Catfish, Crappie, Blue Gill, Sunfish and Sucker.
For fishing conditions, see our Lake Michigan Fishing report
Fishing on the Big Lake requires a boat or using a Charter service, but access to New Buffalo’s game fish is available without a boat at several locations at the lake front and mouth of the Galien River. Pier and shoreline fishing at the City Park, the breakwater, and the Municipal Marina offers great fishing and family fun.
