Beaver Island Fishing Charter!
Come fish Lake Michigan with Bob Turner on the Kelly Day
There’s an old tale that Edward J. Kelly, mayor of Chicago 1933 - 1947, gave firefighters one day off after seven on duty as a tactic to reduce fatigue as well as overtime pay. Hence, a firefighter’s day-off became known as a “Kelly Day.” When Captain Bob Turner retired from the Detroit Metropolitan Airport Fire Department in 2015, he quickly left the hustle of Southeast Michigan in favor of the more relaxed and nature-centric serenity of Beaver Island. He now enjoys his never-ending days off aboard the aptly named Kelly Day.
Spend the day on the lake
As retirement is the opportunity to begin writing a new chapter, Captain Bob is happy to share his Kelly Day with you! Troll the waters off Beaver Island fishing for salmon and Lake trout while enjoying breathtaking views. The Kelly Day is a sturdy 1987 Webber’s Cove trolling vessel built in Maine. At 34-feet-long with an 11-foot beam, the Kelly Day comfortably accommodates up to six passengers.
