| Hour-by-hour wind and temp | Weatherbug for MQT. Click next 12 hours for more. |

Welcome
to Joe's Lake Superior Fishing Web Site. This is my 18th year of
logging my Lake Superior fishing trips
around Marquette, located in the central Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Each year I've
recapped my fishing trips to share with you. My boat is named "Cooler By The Lake", after our frequent summer weather forecasts
for areas near Lake Superior. I'm a fisherman who loves to fish Lake Superior, mostly for Lake Trout. I do
not run a charter. There are no advertisements on my site, nor pop-ups. I usually update my reports after each trip.
Thank you for following
me on my
Lake Superior fishing journeys. Other
