Catch the Big One on the Big Lake

ALGOMA, Wis.
June 28, 2006

Algoma, WI – When it comes to fishing, there’s nothing quite like catching the big one on the big lake. And there’s nothing quite like a Lake Michigan charter boat fishing excursion from Algoma or Two Rivers.

“People like the fact they can catch a variety of fish, including Chinook (King) Salmon, Coho Salmon, Smallmouth Bass, Trout, Northern Pike, Perch, Walleye and Wisconsin’s official state fish, the elusive Musky,” said Katie Green, Packer Country Visitor and Convention Bureau Director of Marketing. “There’s no doubt there are a lot of big fish feeding in the Lake Michigan coastal waters off Two Rivers and Algoma just waiting to be someone’s prized catch.”

If you’re really serious about Lake Michigan fishing, mark your calendar for July 21-23, 2006 for the 28th Annual Two Rivers Kiwanis Fish Derby. A four-day fishing tournament is also part of the Shanty Days 2006 “Celebration of the Lake” in Algoma, August 10-13, 2006.

“With the multitude of charter options out of Algoma and Two Rivers and the beautiful Northeast Wisconsin lakeshore, Lake Michigan charter fishing is one of the best freshwater fishing experiences possible.”
