Stannard Rock Fishing Charters
Shelter Bay Charter's Stannard Rock fishing charter
is the most requested of all charters. Stannard Rock is a reef marked by a lighthouse and
located at the furthest fishing area from the shores of Lake Superior.
Stannard Rock reef was discovered
back in the 1800's by a fur trader traveling on a ship. The
reef is a natural feeding ground for Lake Superior Lake Trout,
and for that reason, it is one of the more favored a great fishing spots.

Most remote lighthouse in Lake Superior
Also the most remote fishing area in Lake Superior
When the bite is on... time stands still...
Rising from the waters into the horizon,
from a distance we see a mirage that comes into our focus
as we approach... a lighthouse atop a rock, ageless, timeless,
its solitutde mysterious... it beckons all who seek the thrill
of the frenzied feeders, the lakers of this sunken island
who come from the depths of Superior to feed nearer the surface,
the shallower waters of The Rock... and we set the hook...
they hit... one after another after another after another...
THE BITE IS ON!
When the bite is on... time stands
still... and time stands no stiller than it does at Stannard
Rock (sometimes called Standard Rock and known to the fishermen
who've been there as 'The Rock'), it is one of Lake Superior's
most remote fishing spots of all. Here is where the great
and grand Lake Trout gather from the deepest depths of Superior
to feed. Lakers in excess of 60 pounds have laid their claim
to fame in the records and brought a thrill unsurpassed elsewhere
to their hunters.
On the appropriately patriotic day of July 4, 1882, John Pasque,
the first keeper assigned to the light trimmed, adjusted, and
exhibited the light for the first time.
Today, Stannard's rock continues to stand vigil over the
shoals it was built to protect, but does so without human
assistance, since the station's light is completely automated
with a solar-powered 300mm plastic lens.
