If you're in the area to give
our World-Class Fishing a try, stop in to buy your licenses, baits,
snacks, and any other equipment you may need.
While you're in the store,
sign up for a fishing
contest or get live reports on how the fishing is going via local fishing
charters currently on Lake Michigan or in the River. We'll tell you
how to get to where the fish are being caught or you can book a hunting or fishing charter while you're here (for both Indiana and
Michigan destinations).

You can bet if we have
it in stock, it catches fish. We work with many local charters and
most of our baits and lures have been recommended or referred to us by
those charters. And if it works for the charters, it will work for
the average fisherman. You'll also find many of your old favorite
lures as well.

An incomplete list of our
stock would include rods, reels, spoons, spinners, surface lures, flies,
nets, and other accessories. Live baits such as minnows, crawlers,
leaf worms, hooks, sinkers, and swivels are standard fare, but
we will also have frozen shrimp for the steelhead and perch runs as well
as frozen herring for chinook.
Here is a partial list
of some of the baits, lures, and manufacturers you'll find at BJ's.
A complete list of our fishing
gear and baits will be available here soon. Until that
time, enjoy the summary of fishing opportunities within an hour's drive
of St. Joseph following the list. Feel free to email
us with any questions regarding our fishing selection.

Southwestern Michigan is a
fisherman's paradise. The Port of
St. Joseph on Lake Michigan, and the St. Joseph River
itself, are known throughout the country as one of the top
fishing destinations in the Great Lakes. Steelhead,
brown and lake trout, chinook and coho salmon, walleye,
smallmouth bass, yellow perch, and smelt are all available at
different times of the year. And then there are the
scores of local inland lakes where you can take musky,
pike, walleye, largemouth bass, and all the panfish you
can eat.

FOR THE KIDS:
Depending your child's age, you can take them to the St. Joe Piers to
catch coho salmon (averaging less than 5 lbs) or yellow perch (loads of
fun for the youngsters). You can also introduce them to
smelt-dipping.

All lures and equipment will
be available both in-store and online. However, live baits and other
perishables will be available in-store only.
