A huge Coho Salmon just hit the deck making the mixed bag a little more interesting. This size class of fish added to the fall mixed bag sure looks promising for the groups scheduled for September. This giant Coho was extremely chunky and one of the largest we have seen in many years. It's girth was the most impressive thing about this male. It was an absolute football and he rocketed out of the water mid fight. We still have a few openings left in September if you want your chance at some true trophy class fish. Give us a shout. Tight Lines All. CBC 🐟🇺🇸🐟

We are now scheduling for the remainder of the 2026 season and have quite a few bookings remaining. If you have a date in mind don't sleep on it because it's always been first come first serve.

If you want to get into some awesome fishing action I can schedule you at anytime. Call, text, or email to get set up with a date/time.

We offer world class mixed bag Trout, Salmon, and Walleye trips in Northern Lake Huron. April through October the fishing is outstanding. There isn't a bad time to fish here in Northeast Michigan.

The mixed bag is getting more and more consistent everyday on the Big Pond. Steelhead and Walleye have been in the catches along with occasional Kings and Atlantic Salmon. Here are just a few of the wonderful groups that came out to fish with us recently that I have been getting behind on posting. Keeping both boats up and running is very taxing to the body and the social media posting have suffered. I am trying to make a point to get caught up and will try to post more catches. The calls are starting to slow down but the fishing has been heating up. Late summer and early fall is my favorite fishing time. There will be some trophy fish hitting the deck soon but the question is will you be the one on the rod reeling? Get your date locked in and I will do my best to put you on them. We still have some availability remaining. Tight Lines All. CBC 🐟🇺🇸🐟

We have been dealing with some super warm water due to these constant northwest winds and thunderstorms. The water finally cooled a bit and the fish are once again in close and it looks like early fall fishing is starting to heat up. Some nice mixed bag species are appearing in our catches. Limits of Lakers are still very consistent and a few additional species sprinkled in makes things interesting. Once this water cools even more it will be lights out trophy fishing for big Steelhead and Atlantic Salmon. We are almost full for September but still have a couple openings to get your group on the water. Early October will be spectacular also for many species but Lake Trout will have to be returned immediately for trips Alpena and North. Contact us if you're interested in getting on the Big Pond in this final push before season winds down. Tight Lines All. CBC 🐟🇺🇸🐟

Well this week has had some lousy weather and even worse weather forecasts i have seen in a long time. Twice they were calling for 50% or higher thunderstorms that never happened but I had to cancel the whole day. I try to give people the best possible experience on the water as possible without having to cut the trip short. On top of that we had several groups cancel on us last minute which isn't great for business. Next season we might be going to online booking in which I will lose money because they charge a fee but it might be the only choice. I'd love to hear what everyone has to say about that possibility so leave a comment please.

As you can see from these pictures the fishing has been outstanding when we can get the lines in the water. The mixed bag has been getting better as summer winds down. As the temps drop the silver fish bite has steadily been on the rise. Steelhead have been showing up bigger and chunkier than ever. I'm starting to think that Huron is loaded with bait because these fish are super healthy with bright red meat. They only get this way from eating tons of bait. Table fare on these jumpers are and will be top notch for our lucky anglers.

Watching these youngsters reeling in fish and helping each other doing just that are epic times on the Big Pond. I was lucky enough to grab a few pics of the action happening mid fight. Hopefully when I get to fish closer to better reception areas I can go live to let you join in on the fun. If you haven't got on the water this year yet the best fishing will be happening in September. Big Steelhead and Atlantic Salmon will be the targets but the mixed bag is off the hook when the surface water temps hit mid 50's. I can't wait to hear the drags scream once again. Tight Lines All.

Young anglers hauling in some great fish and making unbelievable memories is what it's all about folks. Seeing the reactions is just priceless when these beautiful fish hit the deck. This is what makes me get up extra early every morning and head to the boat. The anticipation of a screaming chrome or just a bulldog Lake Trout refusing to come to the surface and in the net makes it easier to put my boots on. Looking at these smiles brings a smile to may face knowing they will be telling stories and showing lots of people what they did this summer. If you haven't already scheduled your time with us there is still time and availability. The late summer period is unbeatable for boxing big angry multi species coolers almost everyday. Bring on the trophy fish!!! Tight Lines All. CBC 🐟🇺🇸🐟

Weather has been incredible for the most part with only a few windy days once in a while. Some nice fish have been hitting the deck for these lucky anglers. The mixed bag has been happening pretty steadily and lots of happy anglers. Thanks to all that have been such great clients we cannot thank you enough for the business this season. Ayvery and myself have been working pretty hard to get everyone out on our incredible fishery. I cannot wait to get started on the second half of season. Late summer is my favorite time of the year.

Another Lake Huron Grand Slam for this lucky crew. With the waters warming up with the high temps lately the mixed bag has been outstanding. With multiple species hitting the deck it makes for a super interesting fishing experience no doubt. King (Chinook) Salmon, Steelhead, Coho (Silver) Salmon,and Lake Trout topped off the cooler for this group on the Angler Quest Pontoons. Things are really heating up out on the Big Pond in more ways than one. If you haven't scheduled yet we have some availability remaining. August and September should be on fire with lots of silver fish in the mix and even some Walleye. Tight Lines All. CBC 🐟🇺🇸🐟

****** Boat Record Pink Salmon ******

This lucky angler landed the largest pink Salmon ever aboard Chum Bucket Charters with this massive Pink Salmon. The beast doesn't looks huge but that's because they are the smallest of the Pacific Salmon. Usually this species is less that 20" and usually a pound and a half normally. This 27" beast was close to the State record of 28" and it was over 5 pounds!! This could be the largest Pink Salmon caught in Michigan in 2026 and is definitely a true Michigan Master Angler. Congratulations on such an amazing catch.

We were just finishing up the trip and wondering around to try for something different out deep in 125 feet of water when the fish bit the Dreamweaver SS spoon. The Morgans Tackle Company 125 copper dragged by a Gator Bait Tackle XL board started to dance and she grabbed the rod. After cranking for what seemed like an eternity I slipped the net under the trophy fish and couldn't believe eyes 👀 What a giant Pink Salmon!! They also had a great catch of Northern Lake Huron Lake Trout. Tight Lines All. CBC 🐟🇺🇸🐟

It's been some unbelievably awesome weather so far this first half or the 2026 season. I believe we have only rescheduled two wind days and a couple thunderstorm spots thus far. The latest thunderstorms pushed some ice cold water in close and the silver fish came in with it. Another high teener King along with Steelhead topped off the cooler very nicely. I believe the Lake Huron mixed bag took off full force for the remainder of the summer. Steelhead, King, Coho, Pink, and Atlantic Salmon and even some Walleye are possible. Non-stop action is very common currently so get your date scheduled. We still have availability this month so don't miss out this summer.Tight Lines All. CBC 🐟🇺🇸🐟
