The Great Lakes of North America are the backbone of a $7 billion dollar fishing industry. Many of its angling participants chase salmonoids miles offshore in deeper and colder waters. To make it that far and have a fair shot at success, one must need a sea-worthy vessel, a variety of electronics (fish finder, GPS system, marine radio to name a few), trolling gear, and variety of trolling tackle. For those who are not outfitted for the sport, hiring a charter service seems like a cost-saving alternative. That is what salmon and trout fishing is all about for most fishermen during much of the year.
