Walleye Fishing Charter on the Glass City Pearl
2025-04-12 07:00 - 15:00 (America/Detroit) | J&M Boat Launch, 1 Jefferson Ave, Toledo, OH, 43604, United States
If you’re ready to enjoy fishing in Toledo, book a trip with J&M Cruise Lines. With one of our licensed captains at the helm, you’re in knowledgeable and experienced hands.
Depending on conditions, you might hook into Walleye, Yellow Perch, and whatever else is biting.
During the trip you might be jigging, or maybe something more specialized in this area.
Thinking of bringing the whole family? Kids are absolutely welcome! If you don’t have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there’s one on board. You’re welcome to bring snacks to maintain your energy throughout the trip!
You’ll step aboard a 65′ Headboat that holds up to 100 passengers. It has all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience.
Rods and reels are not included, so ask the captain about bringing your own or renting some for an extra cost. Be sure to ask about lures as well.
You’ll have the help of a First Mate to assist throughout your trip. Mates work hard to make your trip count, so a 10–20% tip is customary.
Before coming aboard, it is required to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online.
You can’t go wrong when you bring sunglasses, sunscreen (non-spray), bottled water, and a hat. If you’d like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

National Museum of the Great Lakes Spring Lecture Series: The Search for a Queen

Join Wayne Lusardi, Michigan’s State Maritime Archaeologist, as he delves into the history, disappearance, and latest search efforts for the lost Beechcraft Queen Air.
The Search for a Queen: Using State of the Art Technology to Locate a Missing Scientific Research Aircraft in Lake Superior

For more than 50 years, the mystery of a missing Beechcraft Queen Air has lingered over Lake Superior. On October 23, 1968, the aircraft and its three occupants vanished while conducting atmospheric research west of the Keweenaw Peninsula. Operated by the National Center for Atmospheric Research, the plane was expected to return to Madison, Wisconsin—but it never arrived. Despite a search by the U.S. Coast Guard that uncovered only seat cushions and fragments of aluminum, the aircraft and its crew were never found. Over the decades, pieces of debris have surfaced in fishing nets and along the shoreline, yet the wreck itself remains undiscovered. Now, in 2024, a state-of-the-art search is underway, bringing new technology and fresh hope to solving this decades-old aviation mystery.

This lecture is free, but registration is required. Donations are always happily accepted.

About the Speaker
Wayne Lusardi has been Michigan’s State Maritime Archaeologist for over two decades. He researches, surveys and documents hundreds of shipwrecks and dozens of aircraft wrecks located in the state. Wayne has been leading expeditions to recover a Bell P39 Airacobra flown by Tuskegee Airman Lieutenant Frank Moody that crashed into Lake Huron during a World War II training mission. Before coming to Michigan, Wayne was previously employed as an archaeological conservator for the Mariners’ Museum in Newport News, Virginia and excavated the USS Monitor’s turret after its recovery in 2002. He also spent four years on the Blackbeard shipwreck project in North Carolina. Wayne received his MA degree in Maritime History and Nautical Archaeology from East Carolina University in 1998, and a BS in Anthropology from Illinois State University
