About
Great Journeys. Fascinating Places.
Sore Arm's Fishing Charters is based on Lake Superior and departs from Historic Big Bay Harbor in Big Bay, Michigan. We specialize in off-shore full-day trips to Stannard Rock, a lighthouse 45 miles north of Marquette and 26 miles east of the Manitou Islands. We focus on helping you get the catch of a lifetime - a trophy Lake Trout.
We also offer a near-shore half day trip with views of the Marquette County shoreline with a goal of catching all species -- Lake Trout, Coho, Brown Trout, Steelhead and King Salmon.
