Welcome to Joe's Lake Superior Fishing website. This season begins thirty years of logging my Lake Superior fishing trips around Marquette, located in the north 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 paid 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 features on my website are where I cover several topics, including the Marquette American Legion Post 44 happenings, and Marquette Area Veterans Memorial events. Please if you have questions or suggestions. Compliments are also welcomed. Joe P.S. It's kind of nice to find that Google lists me #1 out of 6,010.002 responses (yeah, it varies) to "Joe's Lake Superior Fishing " searches. Probably aren't many websites this old. Please join me this season!
